"Badatz" stands for "Beis Din Tzedek" Most of the private hechsherim in Israel are called the "Badatz of X" or "Badatz of Y". Colloquially, when someone simply says "Badatz" without referring to which one it usually means the Eidah Chareidis (which it clearly does here based on context).

"Chul" is chutz laaretz, and in this context it is referring to produce coming from outside of EY (or outside of the parts of EY which are mechuyav in shmitta). Due to shmitta concerns all produce this year is categorized in different ways and different people prefer different types. There is "yuval chul" (including certain parts of the Negev) "yuval nochri" "heter mechira" "otzar Beis Din" "matza menutak", etc.

In the context of the OP, she wants lettuce that is grown in an area that the Badatz Eidah Hachareidis considers "chul" with regard to shmitta, and is under that hechsher for both shmitta and bug infestation issues.


Great explanation!
