However, Brachat HaNehenin (pg 191) writes that Rav Elyashiv didn’t finalize this ruling. </ref> In conclusion, one should make HaAdama which will satisfy both opinions. <Ref>Vezot HaBracha (pg 106, chapter 12) in name of Rav Moshe Shternbach and Veten Bracha (Halachos of Brochos by Rabbi Bodner pg 520, Addendum 4) write that in conclusion one should make a HaAdama.
