CHODOSH BULLETIN ON THE YOSHON FLOUR PROBLEM

  25 Mar 04


The following is relevant for the Metropolitan New York area only. I 
apologize to others for bothering them.

List of Yoshon bakeries and their situations

As I noted in the previous urgent Chodosh Bulletin, some of the flour from 
one of the major mills supplying Yoshon to the metropolitan New York region 
was found to have instances of worm contamination. As a result, many 
bakeries that were until now supplying Yoshon had to switch to new Chodosh 
flour. The following is a partial list of which bakeries are still 
supplying Yoshon and which had to switch to Chodosh in the greater New York 
area.

The list below is currently true to the best of our knowledge. However, the 
Yoshon flour situation is very much in the state of flux now and may change 
on a short notice. If there is any difference between the information given 
here and the information given by the baker, check with the owner or the 
management of the bakery (not the clerk behind the counter.) The 
information provided by the management should be regarded as the most 
current and valid.



WARNING: Some groceries are not up to date on these changes. They may, in 
error, claim that some products are Yoshon, when the bakery has already 
stated that they had become Chodosh. It is always wise to check with the 
bakery producing the products in question.


Wholesale:

Kohen, Sterns, 15th Ave Food: All chalehs, breads, rolls, became Chodosh 
last week, as per the ads in the newspapers. Yoshon still Yoshon were 
cakes, marble, sponge, 7 layer, roll, decorated. As of Friday, Mar. 12, 
they were able to locate limited supplies of Yoshon flour. They will start 
producing 2 pound rye bread, medium egg chalehs, rugelach and kakash cakes 
that are Yoshon. HOWEVER THESE ARE YOSHON ONLY WITH A SPECIAL YOSHON LABEL 
THAT STATES THAT IT USES FLOUR SIFTED AFTER MARCH 10.  Note this applies to 
WHOLESALE products only, plus the outlets at 1278 49th St Brooklyn and KRM
