*CORRECTIONS AND ADDITIONS TO THE FIRST ISSUE OF THE GUIDE TO CHODOSH AS *

*OF 15 SEPT 08*

* *

The first issue of the Guide to Chodosh was mailed out to all paid 
subscribers on Wednesday and Thursday, Sept 10 and 11. Hopefully, during 
the week ending 20 Sept 08, all paid subscribers in the USA should have 
received their copies. The following are additions and corrections to 
the first Guide:

Gold Medal Whole Wheat flour, the Chodosh code on page 31 should have 
been Feb 1 09 (6 months after packing.)

The following brands of products are under hashgocho for Yoshon. 
However, _unless they are made in Israel or have a Yoshon label,_ they 
can not be recommended for purchase as Yoshon. This is due to the fact 
that the mashgiach could not provide any dating codes or any other way 
to tell how long they will remain Yoshon.

    * Liebers cookies, crackers
    * Kineret and Kosherific products
    * Smackin Good products

Pringles potato chips. The Guide gives a Chodosh date if the ingredients 
contain wheat. The same date should be used if they contain wheat starch.

Malt-O-Meal Honey Nut Scooters cereal. The Chodosh code is June 1 09 (10 
months after packing.)

Quaker hot oats cereals made in Canada and sold in the USA, the Chodosh 
code is March 9 2010 (540 days after packing.)

Oat Dream liquid from the makers of Rice Dream. The Chodosh code is Jul 
26 09 (1 year after packing.)

Kosher Deluxe Restaurant, 10 West 46^th St, New York City. Only bakery 
items and items or flour in items made at the store are Yoshon. Other 
items, including pasta, fried items, barley may be Chodosh. Under the 
hashgocho of Rabbi Avrohom Roth.

Laufer Kishke is no longer Yoshon under the hashgocho of Mechon L’Horoah

Old City Café products are under the hashgocho of the O-U but not Rabbi 
Weissmandl.

Malt purchase date cutoff on page 17 of the Guide should be Jan 17 ’09.

General Mills Cookie Crisp cereal Chodosh code is 372 days after packing.

Cream of Wheat farina is now made by BG Foods. The Chodosh code is Aug 
1, 2010 (2 years after packing.)

Pepperidge Farms products new codes. The dates give here are for wheat:

    * Bread products 1 month after packing (probably Chodosh at this time.)
    * Frozen products Chodosh code Sept 1 08 (1 month after packing.)
    * Cookies, Chodosh code Sept 26 08 (8 weeks after packing.)
    * Old Fish Crackers, Chodosh code Nov 21 08 (16 weeks after packing.)

Manischewitz noodles, pasta, soup mixes without barley, Chodosh code 
2290 (229=day of the year, 0=year+2), with barley the code is 2140.

Yossie’s products are under the hashgocho of the CRC for kashrus. There 
is no mashgiach for Yoshon. Therefore, despite the Yoshon label on the 
package, it is not recommended as Yoshon due to lack of hashgocho for 
Yoshon. The pita is fresh with a very short shelf life and is not 
recommeded. The bagels have a code of Aug 25 08 (10 days after packing.) 
The wraps have a code of sept 26 08 (6 weeks after packing.)
