Kosher Alert: Scallions, Celery

By Vaad Harabbonim On March 7, 2014 · Add Comment

March 7, 2014

Be aware that thrips larvae (and not just adult thrips) have been found inside the tubes of scallions. Thrips larvae are white and translucent – see example images below. Consumers are advised to use a lightbox to see inside the tubes in order to determine whether thrips are present.

Infestations have been found in celery as well. Example images are included below.
