THE ANNUAL CHOMETZ REPORT FROM THE AUTHOR OF THE GUIDE TO CHODOSH IS NOW READY
Each year we put out (bli neder) a report entitled A Survey of the US Grocery Scene with Relevance to Purchase of Chometz After Pesach. The Guide to Chodosh has been published to provide practical product information for the Yoshon-observant consumer. By contrast, this chometz report is intended mainly for Rabbonim, mashgichim and other poskim. These may be able to use the technical information about supermarkets that the report contains, to help them to pasken questions related to where to purchase chometz after pesach. It is not intended for the individual consumer, who will not find clear practical guidance in this report. Those who are familiar with previous yearsreports will see two major improvements this year: (1) many more supermarket and drug chains are covered than in the past, and (2) the format of the report on each company has been greatly simplified, making it easier to learn who owns and operates each company and the names of all of its subdivisions. We have also included an expanded index.
This report is available in printed form and by email.
