Leafy vegetables

According to today's halakhah, is it necessary to check for insects to the level that modern-day jurists require (a relatively meticulous inspection)? Or can we be more lenient based on the consideration of "the Torah was not given to the ministering angels" or the exemption of the private parts, and to what extent can we be lenient (i.e., what is the required level of inspection)?

It's hard for me to set concrete limits. What is called the ministering angels and what is called reasonable effort? Reasonable effort must be made. I would add that if worms do indeed make the soul dull (forbidden foods), then there is room for effort beyond the obligatory halakhic boundary. I'm not sure that's really true.

And what about the moral problem of taking the life of an innocent worm?

And what about spraying it? Isn't that problematic? You nonsense talker.

Lakb's Mr. ‘What you don't see doesn't hurt’ – Hello,

Regarding the spraying of insect-free leafy vegetables’ – In well-organized and supervised companies, there is strict adherence to insect-preventive treatment, both by dense nets and maintaining a clean environment and ‘preventive pest control’ which prevents insects from entering in advance in order to reduce the need for spraying as much as possible. There is careful monitoring that spraying, if necessary, is done long before harvesting so that the effect of the substance dissipates, and internal and external laboratory tests are carried out to ensure that there are no pesticide residues in the leaves beyond the permitted level.
See the article by agronomist Yossi Osher (the agronomist of the company ‘Ali Katif-Haslat’), ‘Pesticide Residues in Leafy Vegetables ‘Insect-Free”, Amonat Atich 89, on the ‘Koshrut’ website. Of course, it is necessary to inquire about each individual marketer, both regarding kashrut and health supervision.
