This picture was taken Motzei Shabbos. It shows a worm in a pickle from the pictured jar.
A Lakewood Rav we spoke to reccomended slicing open each pickle from this company before eating.
A recent alert from the Star K also announced a similar issue from another company.
“I personally would slice open all pickles from all companies,” the Rav told TLS.
Any statement from the company about it? Was it an issue with a particular batch?
name of the rav please
you cant base halacha on one occurrence,
is this a miyut hamotzu?
This is no news. Worms can occasionally be found in ANYTHING that grows. I have found worms in cucumbers(and other fruits/veggies) that do not typically have worms . This is not the company’s issue. There’s no way they could check it if it’s pickled whole. There’s no indication that there’s an infestation so I’m wondering if publicizing the company was halachically permitted as this might affect their sales.
Not such a big deal to me, I’ve been souring on pickles anyway.
I’m afraid that Flaum’s will now be in a pickle…
