Chodosh cutoff dates from the Guide to Chodosh

[Y. Herman]

CHODOSH BULLETIN AS OF 5 Sept 05



RECOMMENDED CHODOSH CUTOFF DATES



The Chodosh season started much earlier than usual this year, due to the 
early harvest.  The following are the recommended Chodosh problem dates for 
the various foods of interest.



Freshly baked products from local bakeries such as breads, chalehs, rolls, 
etc., may be Chodosh if purchased from  non-Yoshon bakeries as of August 22 
in the eastern US and most of the rest of the US.  In the Midwest to 
Chodosh date for bakery products was August 15.



Packaged goods made from spring wheat, except for noodles and pasta, may be 
Chodosh from the packing date of August 15, and by the purchase date of 
September 6.



Pasta and noodles may be Chodosh from a packing date of August 21 and a 
purchase date at the store of September 15.



All  barley products, other than barley malt, may be Chodosh from a packing 
date of September 15, and a purchase date of October 6. Barley malt should 
not be a problem until January of next year.



The oats in cereals and cookies and other foods may be Chodosh from a 
packing date of August 20, and a purchase date of September 11.  This does 
not include Quaker oats whose date maybe earlier. It also does not include 
General Mills cereals such as Cheerios whose Chodosh dates are usually 
October or later. We do not yet have any information on Quaker or General 
Mills oats.



These are tentative dates and may be the revised as more information 
becomes available.

WHEN TO EXPECT THE GUIDE TO CHODOSH

We recognize that, especially due to the early start of the Chodosh season, 
it would be desirable to publish the Guide to Chodosh earlier than 
usual.  However we have not been able to get pertinent and reliable 
information earlier than in other years.  This is due to the fact that many 
people were away on vacation.  It is also due to the fact that many 
manufacturers were caught by surprise by the early harvest dates.  As a 
result, due to circumstances beyond our control, we do not expect to be 
able to get the Guide completed before approximately the third week of 
September.  We urge everyone to keep up-to-date on new developments either 
through the telephone Hot Line (845-356-5743), or the e-mail bulletins, or 
via the BBS system that allows you to access our computer without going on 
to the Internet.  We apologize for any inconvenience that this publication 
delay causes.
