As someone who does not always eat mehadrin (especially if I am with my wife and family and we need a wider option of eateries), it is important for me to know what aspects are mehadrin issues and what aspects are basic. I understood that the statement put out by the Rabbanut concerning not using whole strawberries was a general (not necessarily mehadrin) issue. Thus we have not been buying strawberries this year but I also do not want to deny my family what is possibly a stringency. Is my understanding of the rabbanut statement correct? You stated:
