DaasYochid: You make my point. When buying any vegetable, it is incumbent upon the person to check for whatever foreign substance can be found. If a person is diligent,checks the vegetables and makes reasonable adjustments (I consider cutting off the top reasonable)and then sees nothing ontowards, why ssume there is anything there? Maybe the times that the mashgichim found unusual infestation was a special year? (You wanted to rely uopn the Pri Chodosh for such a chumro). An earlier poster maintained that Mexican strawberries are particularly infested. How about california ones? or New jersey ones? Your way disqualifies a whole species in a way that may not be real at all.
