CHODOSH BULLETIN AS OF 5 Sept 05
RECOMMENDED CHODOSH CUTOFF DATES
The Chodosh season started much earlier than usual this year, due to the early harvest. The following are the recommended Chodosh problem dates for the various foods of interest.
Freshly baked products from local bakeries such as breads, chalehs, rolls, etc., may be Chodosh if purchased from non-Yoshon bakeries as of August 22 in the eastern US and most of the rest of the US. In the Midwest to Chodosh date for bakery products was August 15.
Packaged goods made from spring wheat, except for noodles and pasta, may be Chodosh from the packing date of August 15, and by the purchase date of September 6.
Pasta and noodles may be Chodosh from a packing date of August 21 and a purchase date at the store of September 15.
All barley products, other than barley malt, may be Chodosh from a packing date of September 15, and a purchase date of October 6. Barley malt should not be a problem until January of next year.
The oats in cereals and cookies and other foods may be Chodosh from a packing date of August 20, and a purchase date of September 11. This does not include Quaker oats whose date maybe earlier. It also does not include General Mills cereals such as Cheerios whose Chodosh dates are usually October or later. We do not yet have any information on Quaker or General Mills oats.
These are tentative dates and may be the revised as more information becomes available.

WHEN TO EXPECT THE GUIDE TO CHODOSH
We recognize that, especially due to the early start of the Chodosh season, it would be desirable to publish the Guide to Chodosh earlier than usual. However we have not been able to get pertinent and reliable information earlier than in other years. This is due to the fact that many people were away on vacation. It is also due to the fact that many manufacturers were caught by surprise by the early harvest dates. As a result, due to circumstances beyond our control, we do not expect to be able to get the Guide completed before approximately the third week of September. We urge everyone to keep up-to-date on new developments either through the telephone Hot Line (845-356-5743), or the e-mail bulletins, or via the BBS system that allows you to access our computer without going on to the Internet. We apologize for any inconvenience that this publication delay causes.
