Note: The above dedication to Reb Yaakov ZT"L and Reb Moshe ZT"L is an expression of gratitude for the support and advice
that they gave to the publication of this Guide. It should not imply that they gave any haskomo to this Guide or that they
paskened that everyone must avoid eating all foods that the Guide labels "Chodosh".

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. That is
why the Guide only lists establishments and items with such hashgocho. (The exceptions are
items listed with category “‫”ד‬. 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. The Guide does not provide any such hashgocho.)

‫=ד‬No hashgocho, check codes; ‫=ח‬Chodosh; ‫=ס‬sofek, uncertain
 BE YOUR OWN YOSHON INVESTIGATOR!
What could you do if your favorate product does not have a hashgocho for
Yoshon and is not mentioned in this Guide?

Call the manufacturer and ask them how to interpret the dating code for
items packed on or after the following cutoff dates (i.e. ask what the package
code would be for the following dates. These are the first dates that may be
Chodosh):
· If it contains oats, Jul 26 2009
· If it contains no oats but does contain wheat Aug 9 2009
· If it is noodles or pasta and barley, Aug 16 2009
· If does not contain oats, wheat, barley but does contain malt or barley
malt, Dec 15

What could you do if your bakery, restaurant or other establishment is not

listed in the Guide?

Go to the store and ask them if they are Yoshon. If they claim to be Yoshon,
ask them who is the mashgiach that certifies the Yoshon status (not just
kashrus, but Yoshon.) Then check with that mashgiach to find out what
items produced by that establishment are Yoshon under his hashgocho.

For more guidance to help with your own investigation, see Section 3 of this
Guide.

Of course, you could also call the Chodosh Hot Line at 718-305-5133.
However you may get faster results on your own, since we can not always
immediately investigate all new product questions that are called in.

ADDITIONS AND
CORRECTIONS TO THE
SECOND ISSUE OF THE
GUIDE TO CHODOSH
CRC-HISACHDUS NOW DOES
CERTIFY YOSHON
Until this year, the CRC-Hisachdus did not
certify Yoshon, even for items under their
hashgocho that had a Yoshon label. This policy
has now changed. For all packaged foods with a
CRC hashgocho for kashrus and a Yoshon label,
the CRC hashgocho covers the Yoshon as well.
The same holds for all establishments such as
bakeries, pizza shops, etc that claim to be
Yoshon and are under the CRC hashgocho for
kashrus. This policy went into effect at the end
of the summer, from the beginning of the current
Chodosh season. Therefore, it covers all items on
the market today. The CRC is also makpid on
malt. They will not certify as Yoshon any item
that may contain Chodosh malt.
Earlier issues of this Guide to Chodosh had
reflected the former refusal of the CRC to take
responsibility for Yoshon. Therefore, we listed
products with a Yoshon label and only a CRC
hashgocho under the ‫ ס‬category. Namely that
without a responsible hashgocho we could not
recommend such items as Yoshon. Now that we
have been advised of the new CRC policy, we
attempted to reclassify those items to categories
of ‫א‬or ‫ב‬. However, it is quite possible that we
missed some items and neglected to reclassify
them.

9 inch shells, the code is not printed on each
individual package, only on the case in which the

not have any control to make sure that any
specific package on the shelf came from any
specific box, therefore the 9 inch shells are not
recommended as Yoshon. For the Unger pizza

9.6 Baby Foods
‫ ד‬Beechnut baby food update: Both cereal
boxes and baby food jars have two kinds of
dating codes. One indicates the actual date of
packing. The second is the “best if used by” date.
We suggest that you look only at the code for the
actual packing date. For cereal boxes the codes
appear at the top of the boxes. An example
would be 7926 JAN2011. (7=July, 9=year,
26=day of the month.) For foods in jars the code
for the same date would be printed on the lid and
would be 97 26JAN2011 (9=year, 7=month,
26=day). Use the dates of Jul 26 for oats, Aug 9
for wheat and Aug 16 for barley.
‫ ד‬Gerber baby food update: Cereals in boxes
the date on the package is 1 year after packing.
Cereals in jars it is 15 months after packing.

York City is NOT Yoshon.
‫ ס‬Simon Sez Pizza Shop on Ave M is now
under the hashgocho of Rav Pinchos Horowitz.
Rabbi Horowitz only supervises the kashrus. So

hashgocho for Yoshon.
12.1.5 Queens and Long Island
‫ ס‬Off the Grill at 600 Central Ave, Cederhurst,
NY is not certified as Yoshon until further
notice.
Queens, NY Update regarding establishments
under the hashgocho of the Vaad Harabonim of
Queens. In the following list, for bakeries and
restaurants, everything is Yoshon unless noted
below otherwise. For the pizza shops only the
pizza is under hashgocho for Yoshon. ‫א‬

Catering, 7 Wilson St., New Square.
Yoshon under the hashgocho of the
Bais Din of New Square.
‫ ב‬Glaubers Catering in Monsey, Yoshon under
the hashgocho of Rabbi Binyamin Gruber.
‫ א‬Rugelech Bakery Yoshon under the
hashgocho of the CRC.
12.4 New Jersey
Lakewood: 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.
(Note the comment under the Lakewood listing
in Section 12.4 about how surprising it is that in
Lakewood of all places the Yoshon-observant
consumers do not demand hashgocho for items
that are stated to be Yoshon!)
Lakewood: ‫ ס‬Hershy’s Bakery is under the
hashgocho for KASHRUS of Rav Mordechai
Betzallel Klein. Rabbi Klein does guarantee that
the flour used in the bakery is Yoshon. However,
he takes no responsibility for checking the
Yoshon status of other ingredients and materials
used in the bakery. Therefore, we consider the
Yoshon supervision of this bakery as being
incomplete.

Pager after 11 AM (or after 11 pm on motzoei Shabbos) for a possible answer. We try to answer the Hot Line
questions on every one of the 7 days of the week, except when traveling out of town. It is almost
impossible for us to find time to answer phone calls individually. However, in order to be available for the
most urgent situations, we will try to be reachable by pager or beeper. Please, use this service only for the
most urgent situations when you can not wait until after 11 AM (or after 11 pm on motzoei Shabbos) for
answers recorded on the Hot Line. We cannot guarantee that we can return the page, however we will make
an effort to do so, when possible. For instructions on how to activate the beeper, call the Hot Line and press

2.3 Chodosh cutoff dates based on harvest data

General In earlier years, the Guide would try to ask each company when they begin to use the newly harvested Chodosh
Chodosh crops. Under the revised guidelines described above, we no longer rely on such information provided by individual
cutoff companies. Instead, when hashgocho is not available for packaged foods, we use crop harvest data supplied by the
dates U. S. Department of Agriculture in their public reports and similar data not originating with each company
11
‫=א‬Yoshon with hashgocho, no checking of codes; ‫=ב‬Yoshon with hashgocho must check codes
‫=ד‬No hashgocho, check codes; ‫=ח‬Chodosh; ‫=ס‬sofek, uncertain
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. In the past we used to assume that at least 10-
17 should pass from the start of the harvest before the Chodosh would start to be used.. For malt and beer derived
from barley malt, we used to use December 15 Chodosh as the cutoff date. This has been consistently reported as
being reasonable. However, last two years we were surprised to learn that one major source of malt began to use
the Chodosh crop before the end of September. Therefore, we were forced to adapt the earlier malt Chodosh date
of Oct 15. This year, at the time of this printing, so far as were know there has not yet been any production of
Chodosh malt. For this issue of the Guide, we are assuming a working Chodosh packing date for malt of Dec 15.
This date may be modified once we have confirmation that the actual production of Chodosh malt has begun.

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 US Government supplied
harvest data.. 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. This year
we do not give different dates for the mid West and the rest of the USA as we have done in the past. This is
because this may not be as justified due to the shortage of left over crop, as mentioned earlier.

Application Packing date Purchase date

Packaged foods with oats Jul 26 Aug 9

Freshly baked products Aug 10 (Midwest) Aug 24 elsewhere
Packaged foods with wheat or barley (not malt) Aug 9 Aug 24
Noodles and pasta Aug 16 Sept 1
Items with malt (no wheat oats or other barley) Dec 15 Mar 15

3. How to tell if a food is Yoshon?

3.1 Packaged foods
3.1.1 Brief overview

· Is there a Yoshon label on the package? If there is such a label besides the kashrus hashgocho, then the
item is Yoshon, UNLESS the only hashgocho printed on the label is Rav Nochum Efraim Teitelbaum,
The Volover Rebbe. (Note in the Preface that the CRC-Hiaschdus now does provide hashgocho for
Yoshon.) With this hashgocho the Yoshon status is not guaranteed by the mashgiach. (Note that the
Volover Rav should not be confused with Rav Aaron Teitelbaum, the Nirbater Rav who DOES give
hashgochos for Yoshon.)
· Check the Guide to see if the item is listed as Yoshon.
· If it does not have a Yoshon label, and it is not listed in the Guide, then you can call the consumer
information telephone line of the company that makes your package. Find out how to tell from the code
on the package what was the manufacturing date of the item. It may be Chodosh if it contains
o oats and was manufactured July 26 or later
12
‫=א‬Yoshon with hashgocho, no checking of codes; ‫=ב‬Yoshon with hashgocho must check codes
‫=ד‬No hashgocho, check codes; ‫=ח‬Chodosh; ‫=ס‬sofek, uncertain
 o wheat was manufactured Aug 9 or later
o noodles, pasta or barley (not barley malt) if it was manufactured Aug 15 or later.
· If the above do not provide answers, try to call the Chodosh Hot Line at 718-305-5133 and leave your
question. (However, you should get a quicker answer if you do your own investigation, as above.)

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 for kashrus.

· For those packaged foods that are listed in this Guide as being category ‫ אּ‬or ‫ ב‬for 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 or Kedassia of London 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 (Chicago Rabbinical Council), CRC (Central Rabbinical Congress-Hisachdus, Rabbi
Yoshon Weissmadl, Rabbi Shlomo Stern (the Debrecener Rav), Mechon Lakashrus of New Square-Rabbi
package Mordechai Unger, Rabbi Aaron Teitelbaum (Nirbater Rav), Rabbi Yechiel Babad (Tartekover Rav), Bais
labels 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 3.2
directly below) : KAJ, Kof-K, Rabbi Gruber, Kehilah Kashrus (of Brooklyn). Therefore, after Dec 15,
items under these hashgochos may contain Chodosh malt.
· 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. (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.

3.1.3 Policy regarding malt

It is explained in Section 10.1 below that malt or barley malt, when listed in the ingredients of a packaged food,
can be used for one of two purposes: (1) added to most baking flours as a chemical agent to allow the yeast to react
with the water and air to make the dough rise, and (2) as a sweetening coloring agent. Chodosh malt may start to
Is become a problem this year after Dec 15. If that malt is made from Chodosh barley, then the halacha may depend
hashgocho on the application as follows:
makpid on · Some Rabbonim are completely machmir and hold that Chodosh malt is not botul in either application (1)
malt? or (2).
· Others hold that Chodosh malt is botul in application (1), but not (2). This is the psak I got from Harav
Hagoan Yaakov Kaminecki ZT”L and others and is the one that I personally follow in my home.

13
‫=א‬Yoshon with hashgocho, no checking of codes; ‫=ב‬Yoshon with hashgocho must check codes
‫=ד‬No hashgocho, check codes; ‫=ח‬Chodosh; ‫=ס‬sofek, uncertain
 · Others yet hold that malt is either always botul, or for other reasons is not necessary to check for. One
such reason is the fact that malt becomes a problem so late in the season (after Dec 15) and in many
application only small amounts of malt are used. Therefore, they assume that the malt is probably old.

In Section 3.1.2 above, when we mention that a hashgocho is not makpid on malt, that means they follow the third
opinion for one reason or another. They do check for the Yoshon status of all ingredients, but they do not check
into the status of any malt that is used.

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.

3.2.1 Policy regarding malt

Some mashgichim do not check the Yoshon status of malt. Establishments under these hashgochos are listed under
category ‫ב‬.

3.2.2 Policy regarding spicy fries

Many pizza shops and similar establishments serve spicy (potato) fries. These fries often contain flour that may be
Fried Chodosh. That potential Chodosh problem is compounded by the fact that the establishment often uses the same
foods oil for other fried foods that contain no Chodosh ingredients. Therefore, all fried foods in such establishments have
a possibility of containing Chodosh flour. All responsible hashgochos either make sure that spicy fries are Yoshon
or they advise that fried foods not be treated as Yoshon.

3.2.3 Other warnings regarding restaurants, pizza shops, etc

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. We have received word that some Royal brand tuna fish
spreads also contain bread crumbs that may be Chodosh.

WARNING: Matzo meal has always been assumed to be Yoshon. We believe that this is still true for real matzo
meal. However, at least one brand of “fake” matzo meal is being sold under the brand name of Kerry. This
product, which is under the kashrus hashgocho of the Kof-K, is really made from bread crumbs which may be
Chodosh. We do not know at this time if there are other such “fake” matzo meals on the market. Neither do we
have information yet on which products may use the Kerry “matzo meal”. We will publish any new information
that we uncover via the usual email updates and Hot Line News recordings.

competent hashgocho organization or mashgiach then that is good assurance of the reliability of the Yoshon. If
not, then one can face some of the following scenarios based on some real-life situations:
· “Of course the baked products are Yoshon. We get them from a fine frum bakery who told us that they
are Yoshon.”
· “We order all our noodles and other supplies from XYZ Distributors who have Yoshon supplies.” (Did
anyone check if only Yoshon was delivered? Delivery mix-ups occur sometimes.)
· “We are all Yoshon. The barley in the soup? I am not sure let me ask. …Yes, the cook told me that the
delivery man told him that the barley is Yoshon.”
· We checked for Yoshon. It did not occur to us to check for the Yoshon status of the breading of the
chicken.
· Last night you had a non-Yoshon affair at your hall. Did anyone check if the unopened Chodosh boxes
that were left over from yesterday were not used by mistake for tonight’s Yoshon affair?

Due to such possible problems and others, as of last year, the Guide will not list any establishment as being
Yoshon, unless the Yoshon status is confirmed by a hashgocho.

crumbs. These may be Chodosh. (See Section
3.2.3.)
4.7 Spelt baked products
USA SPELT PRODUCTS NOT CHODOSH
In the past, the Guide had stated that spelt products
in the USA may be Chodosh beyond a specific
cutoff date due to the fact that they may contain
Canadian spelt that was assumed to be mostly a
spring crop. It turns out that that assumption was due
to incorrect information given to us. With the
corrected information as outlined below, it appears
that there should be no Chodosh problem at all with
spelt products produced in the USA.
The correct facts are as follows:
1. The spelt grown in the USA is always a
winter crop and is Yoshon.
2. About 80% of the spelt grown in Canada is
a winter crop, only about 20% is a spring
crop that may be Chodosh. Most of the
spelt in Canada is grown in Ontario, which
is on the eastern part of Canada. This spelt
is almost 100% winter crop. The climate in
Ontario can support either winter or spring
crops. However the winter crops usually
yield a much bigger harvest. So Ontario
 will only produce a spring spelt under the
rare occurance of a failure of the winter
crop. Factories that use spelt that are in the
eastern half of the USA would most likely
use either USA grown spelt or the spelt that
comes from the nearby Canadian region of
Ontario. In either case, this would be a
winter crop. The 20% spring spelt is grown
in Western Canada.
Therefore, our conclusion that the spelt used in
products made in the USA can be assumed to be free
from Chodosh problems is based on the following.
As always, for halacha, check with your own Rav or
Posek.
1. It is quite likely that spelt products made in
the USA should use locally grown spelt that
is Yoshon.
2. Even if they use Canadian spelt, 80% of
that is a winter crop and is Yoshon.
3. In the eastern part of the USA, it is
probable that much more then 80% of the
imported Candian spelt should be Yoshon.
This is because Ontario which is in the east
part of Canada basically produces only
winter spelt. The spring spelt is produced in
Western Canada almost excusively.
4. Even if the Canadian spelt should be a
spring crop, it may be last years and would
be Yoshon.
We would like to thank Rabbi Norman of the COR
in Toronto and Rabbi Jaffee of the kashrus
organization in Montreal who pointed out that our
assumptions about Canadian spelt being mostly
Chodosh may not be correct. We were able to
confirm their information independently from
industry and university sources.

unlike malt or malted barley discussed in Section

full of bugs. (See Section 1.3.2)

alert newsletter that warns that bugs have been
found in some heimishe brands of barley (no names
were given). Barley should be checked for bugs.

7.3 Soy, teriyaki and other sauces
IMPORTANT INFORMATION REGARDING
SOY, TERRIAKI AND TAMARI SAUCES
Summary: In the past the Guide stated that soy,
terriaki and tamari sauces that have wheat in the
ingredients may be Chodosh. In fact, these are surely
Yoshon at least up to the packing date of Jan 9 (5
months after Aug 9, the Chodosh date for wheat)
and may be free of Chodosh problems completely.
Even if one wants to be machmir on the Jan 9
packing date, whatever you find on the grocery
shelves until at least mid February should still be all
Yoshon.
Details: After being alerted by some mashgichim,
we discussed the method of production of these
sauces with expert chemists who actually produce
them. Here is what we learned:
· 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
30
‫=א‬Yoshon with hashgocho, no checking of codes; ‫=ב‬Yoshon with hashgocho must check codes
‫=ד‬No hashgocho, check codes; ‫=ח‬Chodosh; ‫=ס‬sofek, uncertain
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 ’10 in any case.
· NEW LISTING: ‫ס‬Gefen Chicken and
Bar-b-q Seasoning contains semolina which
is from spring wheat. This product may be
Chodosh.
7.4 Vinegar and vinegar-based
condiments
Ordinary household vinegar, also known as
manufacturers’ white vinegar, does not contain any
Chodosh-related ingredients. Therefore, most
vinegar-based items such as ordinary household
vinegar, and condiments such as ketchup,
mayonnaise, mustard, pickles, are not Chodosh.
However, there are specialty vinegars such as malt
vinegar, terragon vinegar and salad vinegar which
are made with high concentrations of malt. These
may be Chodosh.

MALT CHODOSH DATE EARLY
REVISED INFORMATION: For malt and beer
derived from barley malt, most years we used
December 15 as the packing date after which the
malt may be Chodosh. This has been consistently
reported as being reasonable. However, last two
years we were surprised to learn that at least one
major source of malt began to use the Chodosh crop
much earlier. Therefore, we were forced to adapt the
earlier malt Chodosh date of Oct 15. Anticipating
that this year may also see an early start of Chodosh
malt production, we again used Oct 15 as the
tentative malt date in the first issue of this year’s
Guide. However, it appears that this year the normal
situation has been restored. Therefore we will
resume using Dec 15 as the Chodosh packing date.
We will again advise that where package codes are
not known, it is safe to assume that whatever has
been purchased by March 15 will still contain
Yoshon malt.

11. Professional bakery
flour and other bakery
ingredients
Yoshon flour used by Yoshon bakeries, pizza shops
and such for bread, chalahs, rolls, coffee cake, pizza,
etc. has been available one of three ways:
1. Yoshon wheat has been stored in separate
silos, along the silos of Chodosh wheat.
The Yoshon wheat has been sealed by the
O-U and is only opened and ground into
flour under the supervision of the O-U
mashgiach. This Yoshon wheat would be
milled each week and was shipped directly
to the distributors and bakeries without the
need to store flour before shipment.
Therefore this Yoshon flour has the same
freedom from worms that the freshly
ground flour has all year around. (This
freshly ground flour has been only
available in large 50 and 100 pound bags
sold to bakeries. It was not sold to
consumers.)
2. Flour made from winter wheat, which is
always Yoshon is freshly ground. Since
such flour does not have a high enough
protein level, the protein is increased by
adding winter-wheat derived vital wheat
gluten. This year, a version of this type of
Yoshon flour is being produced under the
hashgocho of the Kof-K. For details see
Preface A.1 at the start of this issue of the
Guide.
3. The third approach is the one that was most
often used in the past years. The flour is
produced at the end of the summer before
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

‫=א‬Yoshon with hashgocho, no checking of codes; ‫=ב‬Yoshon with hashgocho must check codes

then the problem of worms developing in
the flour is virtually zero. This year, there
may be a limitation in the New York area
with this arrangement. See Preface A.1.

SERVICES
DISCLAIMER: The Guide to Chodosh
does not give hashgochos for kashrus or
Yoshon. The listing of any facility in this
Guide does not mean that we investigated
its kashrus. For kashrus and Yoshon
assurance, look for the certification by
responsible kashrus organizations or
individual mashgichim.
SEE NOTICE ON PAGE 3
(Note: Please refer to Section 3 above for detains of
the policies of different hashgocho organizations.)
WARNING: One time it was found that a bagel
bakery was making regular bagels from Yoshon
flour and whole wheat bagels from Chodosh flour.
Bagels have to be cooked before baking. It was
found that the Yoshon bagels were being cooked in
the same utensils that were being used each day to
cook the Chodosh whole wheat bagels. The
problems at this bakery were corrected, under the

‫=א‬Yoshon with hashgocho, no checking of codes; ‫=ב‬Yoshon with hashgocho must check codes
‫=ד‬No hashgocho, check codes; ‫=ח‬Chodosh; ‫=ס‬sofek, uncertain
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 non-
Chodosh 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 3.2.2 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.

· NEW INFORMATION: 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 an 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.

‫=א‬Yoshon with hashgocho, no checking of codes; ‫=ב‬Yoshon with hashgocho must check codes
‫=ד‬No hashgocho, check codes; ‫=ח‬Chodosh; ‫=ס‬sofek, uncertain
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 Yerushalaim are also
always Yoshon, even if they are packed outside of
Israel.
14.2 Food imported to Israel
Many of the American-brand-name food items that
are sold in Israel and other countries are produced
under contract outside of the USA. The information
printed in this Guide should not be assumed to apply
to any food items purchased outside of the USA,
unless you have a clear indication that that item was
indeed produced in the USA. This Guide can not
vouch for the relevance of information printed in the
Guide for such items produced in other countries.
The following guidelines can be used for the brands
listed below.
1. General Mills/Nestle cereals sold in Israel.
The following is only valid with packages
that have an O-U hashgocho for kashrus,
although the O-U does not certify the
Yoshon aspects: Cheerios, Honey Nut
Cheerios and Fiber 1, the Chodosh code is
Aug 9 10 (372 days after packing). For
Multi-Grain Cheerios the code is June 9 10
(310 days after packing).
2. 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.)
3. ‫א‬Kellogs cereals manufactured in Europe
and sold in Israel and Europe, are all
Yoshon under the hashgocho of the
Manchester (England) Beth Din.
4. ‫א‬Morning Flakes oats cereal sold in Israel
and Europe is Yoshon under the hashgocho
of the Manchester (England) Beth Din.
 5. Rabbi O. Y. Westheim. Everything under
his hashgocho is always Yoshon
everywhere in the world. This includes
Bobbie's fish products sold in Europe.
6. Kedassia, London. Everything with this
hashgocho on it is always Yoshon
everywhere in the world.
7. 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 Federation’s
KF symbol are always Yoshon, whether
sold in Israel or elsewhere.
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
L’Aretz. Nevertheless, this public is often not aware
that some of the hashgochos in Chutz L’Aretz 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.
15. Elsewhere in the world
This section includes: 15.1 Antwerp; 15.2 Canada;
15.3 England; 15.4 Johannesburg; 15.4 Melbourne;
15.1 Antwerp, Belgium
The locally grown wheat is always Yoshon. The
bakeries use local wheat flour for breads and
chalahs, making these Yoshon. Some of the bread-
like cakes, such as yeast cakes may be Chodosh. For
pasta, ask for Israeli products, which are always
Yoshon. Barley that is locally grown is Yoshon.
However, apparently, during some years, most of the
barley used for cholent comes from North America
