WARNING: Duncan Hines cake and cookie mixes. The Guide has always stated that these are from winter wheat, inferring that they are always Yoshon. According to the O-U mashgiach, the flour used for the mixes is indeed winter wheat. HOWEVER, the wheat starch is mostly from spring wheat and is probably Chodosh starting with a packing date of Aug 15. The code for Aug 15 is either 3227 (3=year, 227=day of the year) or 227M3 (227=day of the year, M=not important, 3=year).
PDF versions of the Guide to Chodosh. The E mail address for ordering these was incorrectly given in the E mail Bulletin of Dec 15. Please see the corrected address below.
Goodmans Rice with Vermicelli has the Chodosh date of Sept 1, code 2445 (244=day of the year, 5=year+2).
Weinz potato chips may be Chodosh at this time according to the mashgiach.
Sabra Salads when displaing the B'Datz Mehadrin logo are Yoshon under the hashgocho of Rabbi Yehudah Shain.
