**************************************************

THE FOLLOWING AS OF SEPT 14

Section 3.1 of the Guide urges consumers to look for the Yoshon label on 
packaged foods. If the package contains a hashgocho for kashrus, besides 
the Yoshon label, then the Yoshon is guaranteed by the organization 
providing the kashrus hashgocho. This is true for all kashrus hashgochos we 
have contacted except for two. The CRC (Hisachdus, Central Rabbinical 
Council) and the Volover Rav, Rabbi Nochum Efraim Teitelbaum. (He is not to 
be confused with Rabbi Aaron Teitelbaum, the Nirbater Rav, who does give 
hashgocho for Yoshon.) Any package with a Yoshon label, where the only 
hashgocho for kashrus is either the CRC or the Volover Rav, is NOT under 
hashgocho for Yoshon and therefore, under our new guidelines, can not be 
recommended.

Zomicks and Steinberg Bakeries in the Five Towns, Long Island, NY. The 
following have been confirmed as being under the hashgocho of the O-K Labs 
for Yoshon: Zomicks-all products, Gotta-Getta-Bagel-all products, Bessys 
Famous-all products, Steinbergs-all products except choice grain bread (6 
grain bread). These products are sold in the retail bakeries, as well as in 
groceries throughout the Metropolitan New York area.

Manischewitz cake mixes and all matzo products including whole wheat are 
Yoshon under the hashgocho of the O-U.

King Arthur flour, all flours including all whole wheat and bread flours, 
the Chodosh code is Aug 9 2007 (1 year after packing). The exception is the 
first all-purpose white flour discussed on page 28 of the Guide, which is 
from winter wheat.

Great Neck Kosher Pizza, 185 Great Neck Road, Great Neck, NY. The statement 
Everything Yoshonshould be deleted. Only the pizza is Yoshon.

Quaker cereals sold in the USA but made in Canada. Those that contain 
oats,  The table on page 35 should have added to it for such Canadian made 
cereals.with oats, the Chodosh codes are for 180 days Feb 6 2007, for 270 
days May 7 2007,  for 300 days June 6 2007, for 360 days Aug 5 2007.

Samuel Adams beer is Yoshon under the hashgocho of the Star-K of Baltimore 
up to package code of April 30 2006.

Gefen noodles and pasta. The Guide gives the cutoff code of 06228. 
Apparently at his time the company is using a code where the day and the 
year are interchanged. The revised cutoff code is 2286 (228=day of year, 
6=year)

Liebers items. The date given in the Guide is the purchase date.
