From the COR of greater Detroit: Bell Peppers from Israel

Red, yellow and orange bell peppers from Israel will soon begin appearing in U.S. supermarkets and require taking of Terumos and Maaseros.  Consumers should carefully check the fine print on the package or the sticker on individual peppers sold loose for the country of origin.  Often the same brand has some peppers from Israel and some from other locations worldwide.  Each individual package or pepper should be checked.  Details of taking Maaser can be found on the Star-K website.
