*THE SECOND ISSUE OF THE GUIDE TO CHODOSH HAS BEEN SENT OUT*
By the end of the week of Nov 9, all the local Guide distributors, as
well as most of the individual subscribers should have received the new
issue of the Guide
To receive a (free) copy of the latest Guide, send a blank email message
to ONE of the following: [email protected] <mailto:[email protected]> or
[email protected] <mailto:[email protected]>. This is the second issue
of the Guide. The introductory sections of the first issue have been
omitted. Those who have not seen the first issue of the Guide may want
to download the sections missing parts. To receive these first sections,
send a blank email to chodosh-in...@sefer,org.
Some people have reported that their email request for the Guide did not
have a response or had some other problems receiving the Guide by email.
First make sure that your email service does not stop such responses due
to the size of the file or because it comes a site that does mass
mailings of emails. (Many spam filters automatically stop such email.)
If this is not the case, if possible please send me an email copy of the
response you got to yher...@yahoo,com. I will then send you a copy of
the Guide.
_THE FOLLOWING ARE ADDITIONS AND CORRECTIONS TO THE SECOND GUIDE_
Barilla pastas that are packed on Aug 16 or later may be Chodosh.
The codes for different pastas are as follows: Plus Pasta code Aug
16 10 (1 year after packing). Whole Grain Pasta code Feb 16 11 (18
months after packing.) Oven Ready Lasagna code Apr 16 11 (20
months). Straight Semolina Pasta code Apr 16 12 (32 months).
Mishpacha, the malt in all flours is confirmed to be Yoshon till pesach.
Weetabix cereals with wheat. For _organic_ Weetabix, the Chodosh code
for the wheat is Oct 1 10 (1 year after packing.) For the _regular_ (not
organic) cereals, the wheat is Yoshon. Malt may be a problem starting
with a code of Jan 1 11.
Off the Grill at 600 Central Ave, Cederhurst, NY is not certified as
Yoshon until further notice.
Circa-NY Restaurant, 22 West 33^rd St, New York City is NOT Yoshon.
General Mills cereals oats code. The summary of changes at the beginning
of the 2d Guide has Chodosh code dates for oats in General Mills cereals
that are not consistent with those dates in the table on page 36. The
table on page 36 is the correct one.
Ungers frozen pie and tart shells in 3, 6 and 9 inch sizes have a
Chodosh code of 09309 (09=year, 309=day of the year). However, on the 9
inch shells, the code is not printed on each individual package, only on
the case in which the packages are packed. Since the customer does not
have any control to make sure that any specific package on the shelf
came from any specific box, therefore the 9 inch shells are not
recommended as Yoshon. For the Unger pizza crust, the Chodosh code is
Mar 11, 2010. Ungers bread crumbs are Yoshon even without a label.
Beechnut baby foods code. Do not use the “Best if used by date. Instead,
for oats packing date of July 26 the code would be 7-9-26 (7=month,
9=year, 26=date). For items that contain wheat but not oats, the code
would be 8-9-9. For barley the code is 8-9-16.
