Update on Cheerios in Israel from the Guide to Chodosh

[Yoseph Herman]

The continuing guidelines on purchase of Cheerios in Israel, as well as
elsewhere, is the same as was formulated by the O-U and was printed in the
Guide. Namely, wheat and wheat starch listed in the ingredients are Yoshon.
If WHEAT GERM is listed then the Chodosh date on the package is Aug 16 '13.
If there is no wheat germ but there is barley (not malt) such as Multigrain
Cheerios, the Chodosh date is Aug 22 '13. If there are no wheat germ or
barley, but there are oats then the Chodosh date is Nov 7 '13. When the O-U
in Israel and when Osem the importer of Cheerios announced that all
Cheerios in Israel are Yoshon, they meant that they only import those
batches of Cheerios that satisfy the guidelines that have been published.
This can be easily verified by checking the "best if used by" date on the
packages.
