Detailed information about organization
Issue
Please be aware that fruits and vegetables from Israel are being sold in the Baltimore area and across the U.S. For example, we have reports that bell peppers at Shoppers and Whole Foods in Baltimore, clementines at Costco, and fresh dates nationwide are coming from Israel. It is an extra concern this year because some produce is already subject to shemitta restrictions. If already purchased, consult your rabbi. Seven Mile Market in Baltimore is monitored by Star-K and produce sold there does not have this issue.
