Each year we update and publish a report titled: "A Suvey of the US Grocery
Scene with Relevance to the Purchase of Chometz After Pesach". This report
is meant to provide background information to Rabbonim who need to judge
which chometz may be purchased after pesach. It does not provide any
practical guidance to the average consumer. In that sense, it is completely
different from the Guide to Chodosh which is aimed primarily at the consumer.
Those who read this report will be left with more questions than answers,
since it highlights the complexity of today's grocery marketing scene.
Please do not address any questions of halachic nature on this matter to
us, but only to your posek.
This report is available in two forms:
1) A printed booklet with a thorough index in the back to help find the
corporate connections of various supermarkets and food producers. This is
available free of charge to Rabbonim and those in the kashrus field. For
all others, there is a charge of $1 per copy. To order this send me E mail,
or US mail to Yoseph Herman, 20 Sylvan Road, Monsey, NY 10952 and indicate
that you want the chometz report.
2) There is an unformatted copy of this report that is available by instant
return E mail. This is free of charge. To get this send a message to:
[EMAIL PROTECTED]
In the message type
get Chometz.txt
(make sure you capitalize as shown.)
Again, I am not able to answer any halachic questions related to the
purchase of chometz after pesach. Those must be addressed to qualified
halachic authorities.
Yoseph Herman
