Bulletin from the Guide to Chodosh

[Y. Herman]

CHODOSH UPDATES
Revised 8 Sept 00
However, this Bulletin supercedes the earlier Bulletins.




This year the relevant Chodosh information is coming in slower than in earlier
years. As a result, we now project that the Guide should be printed
approximately by Sept 17. Meanwhile, we hope to keep you updated by E mail or 
the Hot Line.

The following dates are given as guidelines until the Guide is published.

Freshly baked products in local bakeries such as breads, challehs, rolls,
bagels probably Chodosh starting: Sept 8 in the East and Far West, Aug 25
in the
Mid West.
Packaged foods containing wheat, other than pasta: Definitely Yoshon up to a
packing date of Aug 25. Probably Yoshon if purchased up to Sept 14. After that
package codes have to be used.
Packaged pasta probably safe if packed before Sept 25, probably safe to
purchase
up to Oct 15
Foods containing oats probably safe if packed up to Oct 15, probably safe to
purchase up to Oct 30.
