NOTICE
WOULD YOU EAT MEAT OR CHICKEN WITHOUT ANY HASHGOCHO? IF NOT, WHY WOULD YOU EAT YOSHON WITHOUT ANY HASHGOCHO? The Guide to Chodosh recommends that before you purchase Yoshon from bakeries, pizza shops, restaurants and similar establishments and before you purchase packaged products, make sure that there is a hashgocho that takes responsibility for certifying that it is Yoshon. (The Guide does not provide any such hashgocho.) That is why the Guide only lists establishments and items with such hashgocho. (The exceptions are items listed with category . These are items where, by using the dating codes, we can determine that the food was packed before the beginning of the Chodosh harvest as given by the U. S. Department of Agriculture. If such items are purchased with date codes earlier than the cutoff given in this Guide, then you can be sure that they are Yoshon, even though there is no specific Yoshon hashgocho on such items. )

Therefore, all Cheerios cereals that contains oats or oats plus wheat starch (but no other wheat ingredients, and no malt) have a Chodosh date of March 7 '13. This new finding only applies to wheat starch, not other wheat ingredients. It also only applies to wheat starch in the different Cheerios cereals, not the wheat starch in other General Mills cereals. Those wheat ingredients are still being investigated. Pending further information, we continue to assume that these other wheat ingredients, including wheat starch in nonCheerios cereals, may be Chodosh starting with a package date of Aug 22 '12. In addition malt, when used, could be Chodosh after a package date of Dec 22, '12.. The recently revised package date for oats in Cheerios cereals remains March 7 '13.

E. Acknowledgements
The author thanks the following for their ongoing support of the Chodosh Project. Rav Avrohom Greenfeld, Menahel of Mesifta Torah Temimah in Brooklyn. Rav Greenfeld has been a behind-the-scenc support of the Guide to Chodosh from its first day, some 39 years ago. He has acted as an advisor and sounding board. He has proof read each and every issue of the Guide before publication. He helped formulate and submit halachic questions to rabbonim and other poskim. The Guide would not have matured to its current state without his ongoing support. Mrs. Chaya Rosskamm is the newest member of our team who joined as a research assistant.. Since she started right after the pesach of 5771, she already completed the very difficult of assisting in the task of contacting almost all mashgichim and companies listed in the Guide. This was done despite the fact that she operates out of Yerushalaim with its time differcnce with respect the USA. Thanks to her efforts many listings have been corrected and updated. Obsolete listing have been eliminated. We expect that she will proceed to help expand the coverage of the Guide in the future.
Mrs. Rosskamm joined the other participants of the Chodosh Project who have contributed significantly over the past years: Mrs. Ahuva Cohen of Kew Gardens, NY has managed the subscription department of the Chodosh Project for many years. She processes incoming subscription requests, maintains the data base of 9

current and past subscribers and generates the mailing-label computer files needed to mail out the Guides via the US post office. Gross Printing of New Square, NY has provided the services of their state-of-the-art computerized printing equipment for many years. They take two computer files, one of the Guide and the other of the address labels. They make small adjustments, as needed, to the Guide material. Then they print, staple, fold, and trim the Guide booklets, print on the addresses, apply stamps and mail the finished booklets. They do this flawlessly for more than 2000 copies, usually in less than 2 days after receiving the job. Xchange Telecom of Brooklyn, NY has provided the telephone Hot Line service that is the backbone of the daily support the Guide tries to provide to the public. Their facility provides incoming phone lines that are never busy, and a message system that callers can manipulate for their convenience. Rabbi Yaakov Menken and his Jewish Internet Fund whose jif.org.il computers, located in Israel, are used to distribute email bulletins throughout the season to a list of more than 2100 people. Rabbi Yitzchak Gale who lets us use his sefer.org computer and Mr. Maurice Mizrahi his moruda.com computer to allow people to download the Guide by the means of an email request. Those who distribute the Guide in local cities, including Dr. & Mrs Nelkin in Baltimore, Rabbi and Mrs. Katz in Brooklyn, Rabbi & Mrs. Levine in Chicago, the Rabbis Joseph and Shimon Greenfeld and Aaron Quinn and their wives in Lakewood, and Rabbi and Mrs. Yekusiel Herman and Rabbi and Mrs. Rosskamm in Yerushalaim. Finally we acknowledge the talmidim of Harav Hagoan Shmuel Faivelson Shlita, who shared with us a starting file of Yoshon information that they compiled while they were at Mesifta Beth Shraga, in Monsey.
Check utensils that may have been used for Chodosh. Is koshering required after use for Chodosh? Bagel shop problems: Some bagel shops have been selling Yoshon regular bagels from Yoshon flour and Chodosh bagels from Chodosh whole wheat flour. They did not realize the halachic problems posed by using the same boiler to cook up the Chodosh and Yoshon bagels prior to baking. Sometimes both types of bagels were cooked even the same time! Caterer cautions: Breads, challehs, rolls, frankfurter and hamburger buns, bagels, wraps, frozen doughs and blankets, some cakes and cookies, ice cream cakes should all be from sources under hashgocho for Yoshon. Sometimes the same company will produce both Chodosh and Yoshon. For example, 6-grain or whole grain breads normally are not Yoshon. Bread crumbs must come from Yoshon sources. Corn flake crumbs contain malt which may be Chodosh if packed after Dec. 15. Flour used as a thickening agent in soups may be Chodosh. Wheat germ, wheat starch, and other wheat products should be checked Oats based ingredients A mashgiach allowed Kemach Yoshon to be printed on a label on an item where the main ingredient was Yoshon wheat flour. He did not pay attention to the fact that the ingredients also included oats that may be Chodosh. Flavoring additives using wheat or malt products. For example, wheat flour is included in the ingredients of a red pepper spice mixture used to flavor some wraps. Barley for example used by caterers in soups or cholent. Spelt or rye products. If made in the USA, these are Yoshon. From other countries they have to be checked out. Tuna fish mixes and salads used by restaurants may contain bread crumbs or flour.

2. OTHER IMPORTANT INFORMATION Sections 2.1 and 2.2 have not changed since the first issue and are not reproduced here. If you have not received the first issue, contact the Hot Line at 718-305-5133 for a free copy of the omitted sections.
When it comes to effective cutoff dates for spring wheat we will recognize the fact that the majority of the harvested crops are transferred to central shipping points or stored. We have developed an estimate that at least 1017 days should pass from the first reported start of the harvest before the Chodosh would start to be used. For malt and beer derived from barley malt, we normally use December 15 as the cutoff date. Regarding spelt, we learned in 07 that all spelt whether grown in the USA or in Canada can be assumed to be Yoshon, as detailed later in this Guide. In the table below we summarize the cutoff dates recommended by the Guide, based on preliminary estimates of the US Government supplied harvest data. These estimated dates will be updated as necessary in later issues of the Guide. The Packing date indicates that all packaged goods with dating codes that were before that date should be Yoshon. Starting with the Packing date and later, they may be Chodosh. The Purchase date is the first date for which we feel it is no longer safe to purchase the foods without checking for dating codes. We also give the first recommended date to stop purchasing freshly baked items produced at the local bakeries. . We expect the Chodosh grain to start appearing in products as follows: Oats products packed or produced as of Jul 26 may contain Chodosh. If purchased after Aug 9 (which has passed) package codes should be checked. However a later date is applicable for the oats in cereals made by General Mills, as noted below. SPRING WHEAT: Packaged foods that contain spring wheat may contain Chodosh if packed or produced as of Aug 15. If purchased after Sept 1 package codes should be checked. Items containing wheat, wheat germ or wheat starch may be Chodosh after this date unless it is known that the wheat is Yoshon. Examples of foods that are from winter wheat and are Yoshon are matzos and gefilte fish (Note: Some gefilte fish may use ground up bread crumbs instead of matzo meal. The only such brand we have found so far A&B was using only Yoshon bread crumbs.). FRESHLY BAKED bakery or store-produced items including breads, chalahs, rolls, bagels, many cakes and cookies, and pizza may be Chodosh as of the baking date of Aug 15 in the mid-West USA and as of Sept 1 if made elsewhere in the USA. NOODLES AND PASTA may be Chodosh as of the packing date of Aug 22. If purchased after Sept 7, package codes should be checked. BARLEY: pearled barley or barley in cereals may be Chodosh as of the packing date of Aug 15. If purchased after Sept 1, package codes should be checked. Thusfar, Dependable, Eden, Gefen, and Mishpacha barley has been confirmed as being Yoshon the whole season. BARLEY MALT (also listed in the ingredients as malt) may be Chodosh as of the packing date of Dec 15. Package codes should be checked after the purchase date of Jan 15 for beer and March 15 for malt in other products. OATS CHODOSH DATES FOR GENERAL MILLS CEREALS . The O-U has determined that wheat starch where listed in the ingredients of Cheerios cereals does not pose any Chodosh problems. Therefore, all Cheerios cereals that contains oats or oats plus wheat starch (but no other wheat ingredients, and no malt) have a Chodosh date of March 7 '13. This new finding only applies to wheat starch, not other wheat ingredients. It also only applies to wheat starch in the different Cheerios cereals, not the wheat starch in other General Mills cereals. Those wheat ingredients are still being investigated. Pending further information, we continue to assume that these other wheat ingredients, including wheat starch in non-Cheerios cereals, may be Chodosh starting with a package date of Aug 22 '12. In addition malt, when used, could be Chodosh after a package date of Dec 22, '12.. The recently revised package date for oats in Cheerios cereals remains March 7 '13. Note that Multigrain Cheerios, Fiber 1 and other wheat containing cereals may be Chodosh as of a package date of Aug 22 '12.

3.1.2 Yoshon labels and kashrus hashgochos printed on the same package
Does a Yoshon label on a package guarantee that it is Yoshon? Maybe not. Such a label may not be any more of a guarantee than the letter K on a package guaranteeing kashrus. It all depends on who is behind such a label. It may be that all of the ingredients are Yoshon. On the other hand maybe only the wheat flour is Yoshon. It is also possible that the company may claim Yoshon whereas the hashgocho takes responsibility only for kashrus and not the Yoshon status. For those packaged foods that are listed in this Guide as being category or for Yoshon, the organization responsible for verifying Yoshon is stated in the Guide. All packaged foods packed in Israel under a reliable hashgocho for kashrus will always be Yoshon, with or without Yoshon on the label. All packaged foods packed under hashgocho for kashrus of the Badatz Yerushalaim, Rabbi O. Y. Westheim of Manchester, Kedassia of London, or Rabbi Schneeblag will always be Yoshon, with or without Yoshon on the label. This is true regardless of where these were packed. All items that have any one or more of the following hashgochos for kashrus AND a Yoshon label on the package are guaranteed to be Yoshon, including the malt if it is used: O-U, Star-K of Baltimore, O-K Laboratories, CRC-Hisachdus (not to be confused with the cRc of Chicago), Rabbi Weissmadl, Rabbi Shlomo Stern (the Debrecener Rav), Mechon Lakashrus of New Square-Rabbi Mordechai Unger, Rabbi Aaron Teitelbaum (Nirbater Rav), Rabbi Yechiel Babad (Tartekover Rav), Bais Din of New Square, Vaad Harabonim of Queens, Vaad Harabonim of Monsey All items that have one of the following hashgochos for kashrus AND a Yoshon label on the package are guaranteed to be Yoshon. However the malt if it is used is not checked for Yoshon (see Section 3.1.3 directly below) : KAJ, Kof-K, Rabbi Gruber, CRC (Chicago Rabbinical Council), Kehilah Kashrus (of Brooklyn). Therefore, after Dec 15, items under these hashgochos may contain Chodosh malt. CRC, the Central Rabbinical Council of Brooklyn also known as the Hisachdus and Satmar (this CRC is not the same as the Chicago CRC above) has started to give hashgochos for Yoshon last year. Their policies of hashgocho have not been fully clarified at the time of this printing. 13
=Yoshon with hashgocho, no checking of codes; =Yoshon with hashgocho must check codes =No hashgocho, check codes; =Chodosh; =sofek, uncertain
Items with a Yoshon label and only the kashrus hashgocho of Rav Nochum Efraim Teitelbaum, The Volover Rebbe can not be recommended as Yoshon by the Guide. This is because despite the Yoshon label, the Volover Rav will not take any responsibility for Yoshon. Note that the Volover Rav should not be confused with Rav Aaron Teitelbaum, the Nirbater Rav who DOES give hashgochos for Yoshon.) Other Yoshon label situations have to be investigated on a case-by-case basis.
3.2 Bakeries, restaurants, pizza shops, catering halls and similar establishments producing ready-to-eat foods
The Guide recommends that that you accept foods only from producers where there a mashgiach that takes responsibility for Yoshon, not just kashrus.

All these sauces that contain wheat are fermented over a period of time that is 5 months or longer. All sauces that are produced in a shorter time do not contain any wheat. The flour when used may be from spring wheat that may be Chodosh. In the production of the fermented soy sauce, wheat flour and some spores are added at the same time to start the fermentation. The spores produce the fermentation, the wheat flour is added only to allow the spores to be more evenly distibuted in the liquid and to do a better job. The wheat flour, which at the start is about 7% of the starting volume, is almost completely consumed during the fermentation. Terriaki sauce is produced the same way, except they start with only about 3.5% wheat. Tamari sauce uses much less wheat. From a halachic point of view, this production method seems identical to the question we raised many years ago regarding plain white household vinegar. The vinegar is produced from non-Chodosh alcohol. There, some barley malt plus other chemicals are used in combination to cause the alcohol to ferment into vinegar. In the process, the malt is virtually eliminated (much less than 1/60.). There we consulted several poskim who all ruled that the barley malt is botul. Based on that we believe that in the case of these sauces, as well, the wheat flour may be botul. Please consult your own posek regarding the question of bitul. However, since it takes at least 5 months to complete the fermentation of these sauces, there can not be any Chodosh problem before Jan 15 12 in any case. ****************************************** NOT RECOMMENDED DUE TO LACK OF INFORMATION Gefen Chicken and Bar-b-q Seasoning contains semolina which is from spring wheat.

NOTE ABOUT MALT: The Guide lists many products with a warning that the mashgiach for Yoshon does not take responsibility for the Yoshon status of malt. Some of these products have a Yoshon label and possibly other hashgochos printed on the package. These other hashgochos may take responsibility for the Yoshon status of malt. Check the packages. The lists of hashgochos that do or do not take responsibility for malt is listed in Section 3.1 of the Guide. Pretzels The Guide has always warned that pretzels conain malt that may be Chodosh. In fact, not all pretzels contain malt. If the ingredients do not list malt, then it can be assumed that the pretzels are Yoshon, if they do not contain whole wheat flour or oats. This is since the usual wheat flour used in crunchy (not soft chewy) pretzels is from winter wheat. If they do contain malt, then they may still be purchased until the purchase date of Mar 15. We do not have any package dating codes for pretzels at this time. Honey Wheat pretzels usually contain whole wheat flour which may be Chodosh. No codes available at this time. Beer: Beer is made from barley malt. If the dating code is known, it may be Chodosh if packed on Dec 15 or later, as mentioned above. If the code is not given in the Guide you should try to call the company to find out what is the dating code for Dec 15. If the dating code is not known, then beer purchased after Jan 15 should be assumed to be Chodosh. (As stated above we usually recommended that for items containing malt it can be assumed that the malt in packages on the store shelves is Yoshon up to a purchase date of Mar. 15. This recommendation in the past we also extended to beer. However, since some beers have a manufacturers recommended shelf life of only 4 months, we are revising the purchase cutoff date for beers to Jan. 15, unless dating codes are known and it can be determined that the beer was packed before Dec 15.) THE FOLLOWING WITHOUT HASHGOCHO, NEED TO CHECK DETAILS Heinz specialty vinegars made from concentrated sources of malt, such as malt vinegar, terragon vinegar and salad vinegar. Chodosh cutoff for malt is Dec 15. Malt vinegar has a Chodosh code of Jun 15 2014 (30 months after packing.) (303=day of year, 1=year). Terragon and salad vinegars have a Chodosh code of Dec 15 2014 (3 years). 44

the Chodosh wheat enters the mill. It is then stored and used on an ongoing basis until Pesach. If this flour is stored in cold storage then the problem of worms developing in the flour is virtually zero. This approach is being used less in recent years.. Yoshon Flour Distributors for the New York Region: THE FOLLOWING WITH HASHGOCHO, NEED TO CHECK DETAILS Caravan dough enhancers with CRC stamp on the box are Yoshon under the hashgocho of the CRC. The 6-grain products are not Yoshon. ConAgra flour for bakeries is milled fresh and is suitable for breads, challahs, etc. It may not be as good for pizza or bagels. Available for professional establishments such as bakeries in bulk or in bags. Available directly from Con Agra call Peter Bisaccia (914) 962-7449. It is also available from the distributors listed in this section, below. Yoshon only if provided with Yoshon certification from the Kof-K. Dependable products: See listings by item in the earlier sections of the Guide. Jacks Egg Farm (note unusual name!) sells ConAgra Yoshon bakery flour suitable for breads, challahs, etc. (for details about this flour, see Preface A.1 at the beginning of this Guide.) 718567-0725, ask for Mr. Stern. Recommended as Yoshon only if the flour has the Yoshon hashgocho of the Kof-K. ***************************************** THE FOLLOWING WITHOUT HASHGOCHO, NEED TO CHECK DETAILS Duso Co. (formerly Mountain Commodities) Sid Leiser, 800-582-4770. Duso carries Yoshon and non-Yoshon items. This company produces General Mills and Cargill flour. For all their flours the date is either 2227, 2272 or Aug 15 11, which is the date the flour was milled. General Mills Flour: see Duso Co. above Cargill Flour: see Duso Co. above.

not realized that dough conditioners are usually Chodosh. Puratos Bagel Improver is a dough conditioner that is used by several bagel shops. Even though the company may claim that it is made from winter wheat, the Kof-K that provides the hashgocho for this product will not certify that claim. Therefore, as of a packaging date of Aug 15, this item may be Chodosh. The code for Aug 15 is 08151221 (08=month, 15=day, 1=year, 221 not important.) Yoshon stored supplies of this item are available from Velenti Co. 718-565-1300 speak to Bob Cory. Please check with your local bagel shops. Many may not be aware of the fact that this or other dough conditioners may be Chodosh!
guidance of the responsible hashgocho organization. However, there is no guarantee that such problems were unique to this bakery alone. Mashgichim and consumers who deal with bagel bakeries making both Yoshon and Chodosh bagels must make sure that the same boiler is not used for both.
WARNING: Many restaurants, pizza shops and similar establishments offer fried foods. The menu of fried foods includes fried potatoes. Many of the spicy fries and some of the regular french-fried potatoes contain flour that may be Chodosh. The same oil is used to fry other items including falafel balls. Ask you posek or Rav whether those careful about Yoshon are allowed to eat these other fried foods that are inherently not Chodosh, but are fried in the same oil as the fries that contain possibly Chodosh flour. It should be noted that many such establishments have double fryers. This means that the pot of oil may have two baskets immersed in it at the same time. So therefore, it is possible that the questionable fried potatoes and the other nonChodosh item share the same oil at the same time. Unless certified otherwise, all fried items have this suspicion. We thank Kehilah Kashrus for originally pointing out this problem. See Section 3.2.1 for details about this problem. WARNING: Some tuna fish and tuna fish salads used in restaurants contain bread crumbs or flour. Care must be taken to make sure that such ingredients are Yoshon.

SEE NOTICE ON PAGE3 KCL Yoshon policy clarification: At this time, the KCL does not certify any establishment or product as being Yoshon. This means that even packaged foods which have a Yoshon label and a KCL label are also not certified as Yoshon by the KCL. One reason given by the KCL is that none of the establishments to which they provide kashrus supervision has asked for Yoshon supervision. GENERAL NOTE TO YOSHON CONSUMERS IN LAKEWOOD: We find it somewhat surprising that of all places, in Lakewood the least percentage of the facilities that claim to be Yoshon actually have a hashgocho for Yoshon. It would not be unreasonable for the Yoshon consumers in Lakewood to request the same degree of supervision that other communities take for granted and try to avoid eating Yoshon items produced without hashgocho for Yoshon.

This new finding only applies to wheat starch, not other wheat ingredients. It also only applies to wheat starch in the different Cheerios cereals, not the wheat starch in other General Mills cereals. Those wheat ingredients are still being investigated. Pending further information, we continue to assume that these other wheat ingredients, including wheat starch in non-Cheerios cereals, may be Chodosh starting with a package date of Aug 22 '12. In addition malt, when used, could be Chodosh after a package date of Dec 22, '12.. The recently revised package date for oats in Cheerios cereals remains March 7 '13. Note that Multigrain Cheerios, Fiber 1 and other wheat containing cereals may be Chodosh as of a package date of Aug 22 '12. However this is only true if the box states the name General Mills, Minneapolis, MN and the O-U kashrus symbol. (It is not enough to list the company headquarters in Minnesota. It must actually state that it was produced in the USA.) Otherwise, we have no available Chodosh-related information. (Note that several Cheerios cereals, and other General Mills cereals such as Reeses Puffs, do not list wheat in the ingredients. However they have a statement after ingredients list that warns that the cereal may contain wheat products. This means that it may be made on the same equipment that was used at other times for making wheat cereals. This is important for those who are allergic to wheat. Ask you posek or Rav whether this is important for questions of Chodosh.) Quaker cereals sold in Israel have the same codes and dates as the listing for the same items sold in the USA, as stated in Section 8.1 of this Guide. Quaker oats cereals made in England and sold in Israel and elsewhere in the world are Yoshon, under the hashgocho of the London Federation of Synagogues, if there is a KF symbol on the package. (Note: Some people in Israel use the term Quaker to refer to all hot oats cereals that need to be cooked, regardless of the company which manufactures it. In this Guide, the term Quaker is used to refer only to products made by the Quaker Company, including cereals eaten with cold milk.) 68
14. Israel
14.1 Food exported by Israel
Food produced in Israel under hashgochos considered reliable for kashrus are also always Yoshon. In addition all items produced under the hashgocho of the Badatz of Yerushalayim are also always Yoshon, even if they are packed outside of Israel.

Kellogs cereals manufactured in Europe and sold in Israel and Europe, are all Yoshon under the hashgocho of the Manchester (England) Beth Din. Morning Flakes oats cereal sold in Israel and Europe is Yoshon under the hashgocho of the Manchester (England) Beth Din. Rabbi O. Y. Westheim. Everything under his hashgocho is always Yoshon everywhere in the world. This includes Bobbie's fish products sold in Europe. Kedassia, London. Everything with this hashgocho on it is always Yoshon everywhere in the world. London Federation of Synagogues advised that to their knowledge all crackers and biscuits produced in Europe are Yoshon. Obviously not all of these are under the hashgocho of the Federation. All packaged products with the Federations KF symbol are always Yoshon, whether sold in Israel or elsewhere. IMPORTANT NOTE: As mentioned above, food produced in Israel itself under reliable hashgocho is always Yoshon. However, we have ample evidence that many packaged goods are being imported to Israel with no concern about the possibility that they may be Chodosh. Importers often paste their own labels, in Hebrew on such packages, describing the foreign kashrus organization that vouches for the kashrus, but not the Yoshon status, of the contents. The general public in Eretz Yisroel is more strict about Chodosh than the majority of people in Chutz LAretz. Nevertheless, this public is often not aware that some of the hashgochos in Chutz LAretz are not usually actively avoiding Chodosh. We are warning our brothers and sisters in Eretz Yisroel about this problem and we urge our readers to also spread the word.
barley used for cholent comes from North America and may be Chodosh. For up to date information, contact Rabbi S. Golovenshitz, 011-323-230-8537. We are not aware of any facilities producing Yoshon under hashgocho in Antwerp.
