 chief-rabbinate-of-israel1Recent tests conducting by the Chief Rabbinate of Israel have confirmed the presence of the “bulb” bug in green and red heads of cabbage. The insect is rather transparent and as such, difficult for untrained eyes to detect its presence.

Therefore, all local rabbinates around the country are instructed to use only the bug-free cabbages, red and green. In cases of dire need, assuming the mashgiach has the time and logistical ability to inspect cabbage leaves, if the religious council rav agrees, he may inspect the regular cabbage, providing that 8-9 [top] leaves are first removed.
