Under NKS as well they have many many kosher locations
Playa bowls in Nanuet mall has a hechsher
how does he deal with the berries at all these locations? Are they excluded from certification?
Strawberries yes,Q. I have a question regarding the certification you give for PLAYA BOWLS. A friend of mine told me that the certification doesn’t cover fresh strawberries. Can you please clarify if the whole store is under your supervision or it goes by product? What are your standards for checking for worms?A. Correct, the fresh strawberries are not under supervision as it states clearly on the certificateThis issue is spider mites not wormsThere are no issues with the frozen strawberriesFresh strawberries are washed but not k’halacha – the teudah warns the customer not to order that fruit topping.Blueberries and all other products are fineAll other leafy vegetables are ground up in smoothies and pose no problem l’halachaQ. Regarding not ordering strawberries at Playa bowl, how does this affect the rest of the preparation surfaces ? I assume they are serving strawberries to other people and I assume using the same equipment. A. The fresh strawberries are prepared in bulk at one time in the AM in the back of the store/kitchen area. All surface areas and knives are thoroughly cleaned afterwards so there is an extremely remote possibility a bug was transferred from one fruit to the next.https://nationalkoshersupervision.com/faq-playa-bowls/
Not to be a rav, but a bug if full (beriah) is not batul even under extreme unlikelihood so if they are using the same utensils without someone being there to look and inspect, would probably not be the best situation.

Many studies have been done that showed that there were full beryas intact after pureeing.
How do you have a beriah absorbed into utensils?
