Annual Chometz report available from Guide to Chodosh

[Y. Herman]

Each year we update and publish a report titled: "A Suvey of the US Grocery 
Scene with Relevance to the Purchase of Chometz After Pesach". This report 
is meant to provide background information to Rabbonim who need to judge 
which chometz may be purchased after pesach. It does not provide any 
practical guidance to the average consumer. In that sense, it is completely 
different from the Guide to Chodosh which is aimed primarily at the consumer.

Those who read this report will be left with more questions than answers, 
since it highlights the complexity of today's grocery marketing scene. 
Please do not address any questions of halachic nature on this matter to 
us, but only to your posek.

This report is available in two forms:

1) A printed booklet with a thorough index in the back to help find the 
corporate connections of various supermarkets and food producers. This is 
available free of charge to Rabbonim and those in the kashrus field. For 
all others, there is a charge of $1 per copy. To order this send me E mail, 
or US mail to Yoseph Herman, 20 Sylvan Road, Monsey, NY 10952 and indicate 
that you want the chometz report.

2) There is an unformatted copy of this report that is available by instant 
return E mail. This is free of charge. To get this send a message to:
chodosh-request at jif.org.il.
  In the message type
get Chometz.txt
(make sure you capitalize as shown.)

Again, I am not able to answer any halachic questions related to the 
purchase of chometz after pesach. Those must be addressed to qualified 
halachic authorities.
