The OU permits it for jam

Even the strictest  heshsher allows it for jam as it's blended so it's botal.

-1 jam is not blended ime. Big chunks in there.
Reason is due to commercial washing system imho

Nobody just "permits" it.

The OU recommends a certain bedika. If this bedika is positive for bugs there is no cleaning process available. Supposedly this bedika will show infestation 99% of the time.

For this reason the OU doesn't allow rasperries and blackberries in facilities with their hechsher.

First of all please post your source. (Commercial may be a different process)

I guess you just say whatever keeps the argument flowing

Which argument?

First you say that OU 100% doesn't allow raspberries in any facilities.
Then someone says OU certifies jam.
They you say that commercial process may be different (and therefore OU can certify jam).

So which one is it?
Is OU against certifying raspberries 100% or only when its convenient to say that in an argument?

context?
 
There must be at least 3 different fruits/veggies mentioned on the (cut off) left side.
Besides I see nothing here about OU banning raspberries 100% in their facilities.

I said that OU does not allow rasperries in their facilities (restaurants caterer etc) due to the difficulty checking.

I also said that the commercial washing process is different.

Nothing to argue about

interesting PDF of OU allowed and non-allowed produce in OU restaurants.
According to that document, blackberries, raspberries, and artichokes are not allowed in OU restaurants.

All the others on the list are allowed. (Interesting that they mention that pitted dates do not need to be checked. I have found worms in pitted dates.)

so that means that they are lenient when it comes to dates, and that people have actually found worms, and the OU said that the pitted dates don't need to be checked?
