Question

1. What process does Bodek & Gush Katif use to keep their veggies bug free? 2. Are Bodek & Gush Katif's veggies 100% bug free or do they clean them enough that the bugs become less than 1/60?

1. not exactly sure of the technical difference in cleaning processes, but there is. 2. less that 1/60 is not a heter for bugs because they are a "berya" a creation as it is. They are not batul even in 1/100. The cleaning process makes them not found and so it is mutar. CYA
