(January ’16, page 18) reported that this barley with a code on the bag of
928017 has been found to be infested with bugs. Please note that this is
not a Chodosh related problem. Page 33 of the Guide warns clearly that all
barley should be checked for bugs, all year around. To check barley, the
Kashrus Magazine recommends that you take a full handful of the barley from
the bag and check in on a white paper plate under a strong overhead light,
while you slowly separate and move the kernels around.
