CHODOSH BULLETIN ON THE YOSHON FLOUR PROBLEM

 25 Mar 04


The following is relevant for the Metropolitan New York area only. I apologize to others for bothering them.

List of Yoshon bakeries and their situations

As I noted in the previous urgent Chodosh Bulletin, some of the flour from one of the major mills supplying Yoshon to the metropolitan New York region was found to have instances of worm contamination. As a result, many bakeries that were until now supplying Yoshon had to switch to new Chodosh flour. The following is a partial list of which bakeries are still supplying Yoshon and which had to switch to Chodosh in the greater New York area.

The list below is currently true to the best of our knowledge. However, the Yoshon flour situation is very much in the state of flux now and may change on a short notice. If there is any difference between the information given here and the information given by the baker, check with the owner or the management of the bakery (not the clerk behind the counter.) The information provided by the management should be regarded as the most current and valid.

 

WARNING: Some groceries are not up to date on these changes. They may, in error, claim that some products are Yoshon, when the bakery has already stated that they had become Chodosh. It is always wise to check with the bakery producing the products in question.
 

Wholesale:

Kohen, Sterns, 15^th Ave Food: All chalehs, breads, rolls, became Chodosh last week, as per the ads in the newspapers. Yoshon still Yoshon were cakes, marble, sponge, 7 layer, roll, decorated. As of Friday, Mar. 12, they were able to locate limited supplies of Yoshon flour. They will start producing 2 pound rye bread, medium egg chalehs, rugelach and kakash cakes that are Yoshon. HOWEVER THESE ARE YOSHON ONLY WITH A SPECIAL YOSHON LABEL THAT STATES THAT IT USES FLOUR SIFTED AFTER MARCH 10.  Note this applies to WHOLESALE products only, plus the outlets at 1278 49^th St Brooklyn and KRM Supermarket and Kosher Palace Supermarket. It does not apply to the Korn retail stores (see below).
