If one buys bagged lettuce that is triple washed does it need to be washed and checked again by the consumer? What method should we use? How many washes? How do we check if need be? Where do we find the halacha on modern practice of washing lettuce?
If the bagged lettuce is approved (e.g. Bodek) no need to wash again. If it isn’t, it depends on whether it was washed properly or not.
In general, Rabbi Abadi advised based on his testing that the proper way to clean lettuce is by soaking in soapy water and then rinsing while agitating the leaves. There’s a guide somewhere on the site. I’m hoping someone can link it. I don’t see it this minute.
