The third and last issue of the Guide to Chodosh for the season has been
sent out. As usual, a free copy of
this Guide can be ordered by email by sending a message to ONE of the
following addresses:
chodosh at sefer.org or chodosh at moruda.com.

The following are changes and corrections to the latest Guide:

Kinneret onion rings have a Chodosh code of 09331 (09=year, 331=day of
the year.) Under the hashgocho
of Rabbi Weissmandl.

Schreiber’s Bakery in Brooklyn. All items from this bakery using spelt
flour may be Chodosh. (Note: The
Guide has stated that all spelt grown in the USA is always Yoshon. There
is some spelt grown in Canada
that may be Chodosh. However, since the likelihood of such Chodosh spelt
being imported to the USA is
very remote, we were informed that we may consider even such Canadian
spelt in the USA as being
Yoshon. Schreiber’s is receiving Canadian spelt flour. Kehilla Kashrus,
the mashgiach for Schreiber’s
chose to be machmir and be concerned even for the small likelihood of
such Chodosh spelt. We applaud
those who make efforts to upgrade the standards of hashgochos. However,
we still stand by our advice
that spelt in the USA may be considered Yoshon, even if it comes from
Canada.)

Roma Pizza, Amsterdam Ave (between 101 St and 102 St.) New York City.
The pizza and pasta are
Yoshon under the hashgocho of Rabbi Avrohom Marmorstein.

Kemach egg noodles are NOT Yoshon at this time, unless there is a Yoshon
label on the package. Noodles
with the dating code 20512 (2=Feb, 05=day of month, 12=year+2) are NOT
Yoshon.

Pretzel alert: The Guide had stated that all crunchy pretzels use Yoshon
winter wheat flour. They contain malt that
should be Yoshon up to a purchase date of March 15. This only hold for
regular pretzels. However, WHOLE WHEAT
pretzels (not made in Israel) may be Chodosh.
