AS OF 10 MAR 06
The third issue of the Guide to Chodosh was mailed out on March 6 and 7. The following are corrections and additions to the third issue of the Guide.
The new Guide includes a notice of major changes coming to in next year's Guide. We will essentially not recommend food items and establishments that are not under hashgocho for Yoshon, or for which we can not determine the Yoshon status independently of the company's information. We have received several distressed phone calls and messages from cities away from the New York City area. Yoshon consumers living in these cities are much more dependent on national brands without hashgocho for Yoshon than are people in the New York Metropolitan area. They misunderstood our notice as meaning that such national brands will not be listed at all. We do plan to keep listing as many of these national brands as possible. We will continue to give updated dating codes for these brands. However some cutoff dates may be earlier than they would have been in previous years. In many cases, when we can verify the Yoshon status of the food independently of the claims of the company we will continue to list these as being Yoshon. For example, we expect to keep listing as Yoshon Heckers flour and Gold Medal flour from Kansas City, code KC. In addition, the section on pasta and noodles, for example, will remain virtually unchanged, because we already applied these new rules to these items this past year. All in all, we will do our best to minimize difficulty for consumers away from the New York Metropolitan area. We welcome further comments on this subject.
