Another branch of Machsanei Hashuk has produce that is mehadrin outside of a shmita year (currently this means not buying fruits that grow on trees from this store).
Address: Sderot Yerushalayim 10
Machsanei Hashuk also has an app for online shopping. All their produce is mehadrin outside of a shmita year (currently this means not ordering fruits that grow on trees from the app).

It’s important to be aware that many Chabad chassidim in Israel keep to two hechsherim: B’datz Eida Charedit, and the hechsher of HaRav Landau. These are the only two hechsherim allowed in the Chabad schools.
