Rabbi Daniel Sharratt is an expert in the halacha and science of produce, overseeing hundreds of plants and traveling to commercial indoor farms around the globe. With a background in mechanical engineering, he brings a unique scientific perspective to the world of kashrus and bug checking.

In this episode, we cover:

Triple-Washed, Organic, & Frozen: The truth about why “triple-washed” and “organic” labels do not mean produce is bug-free, and why frozen vegetables still require strict kosher certification.
Smoothies & Blended Bugs: The halachic rules of blending infested produce and why grabbing a green smoothie at an uncertified juice bar poses serious kashrus risks.
The Halacha of Bug Size: The fascinating debate over what size bug actually counts as “visible to the naked eye” and how globalized farming changed the reality of bug checking.
