London Beth Din, September 1, 2010 R ED /P URPLE C ABBAGE , was recently discovered to be infest- ed with small white bugs. The insects might not be noticed during a casual check of the cab- bage, but if the leaves are removed from the head and checked carefully (before the leaves are washed), the bugs can be seen stand- ing or crawling on the inside of the leaves. The insects have been found in cabbage checked in New York, Baltimore, and Chicago, but the exact extent of the infestation or the reason for its sudden appearance is not yet understood. It is therefore recommended until further notice to only used red/purple cabbage in one of the following two ways: pre-washed and pre- shredded with proper supervision (bagged cab- bage), or where the leaves are removed from the head and each leaf is rinsed thoroughly under a stream of water. Thus far it appears that green cabbage is not affected by this infestation.
