(cRc)
Due to a recent discovery of increased infestation of insects in broccolini, the cRc has revised its policy on checking it. We now recommend that it must be washed very well with either a vegetable wash or a food grade soap solution, and checked with a chazaka. (See our website) This does not effect the cRc policy on other broccoli products.
This information, including a list of the cRc policy on checking for insects on over 100 different fruits and vegetables, can be found on the cRc website here.
In case you are wondering what all the fuss is about the availability of broccolini or what it is, click here. Also, it was popular in the kosher world due to its relative ease of checking and low rates of infestation.
