CHODOSH BULLETIN-17 FEB 10 From the Guide to Chodosh-Y. Herman Chodosh telephone Hot Line 718-305-5133, email [email protected]
The third and last issue of the Guide to Chodosh for the season has been sent out. As usual, a free copy of this Guide can be ordered by email by sending a message to ONE of the following addresses: [email protected] or [email protected]. The following are changes and corrections to the latest Guide: Kinneret onion rings have a Chodosh code of 09331 (09=year, 331=day of the year.) Under the hashgocho of Rabbi Weissmandl. Schreiber’s Bakery in Brooklyn. All items from this bakery using spelt flour may be Chodosh. (Note: The Guide has stated that all spelt grown in the USA is always Yoshon. There is some spelt grown in Canada that may be Chodosh. However, since the likelihood of such Chodosh spelt being imported to the USA is very remote, we were informed that we may consider even such Canadian spelt in the USA as being Yoshon. Schreiber’s is receiving Canadian spelt flour. Kehilla Kashrus, the mashgiach for Schreiber’s chose to be machmir and be concerned even for the small likelihood of such Chodosh spelt. We applaud those who make efforts to upgrade the standards of hashgochos. However, we still stand by our advice that spelt in the USA may be considered Yoshon, even if it comes from Canada.) Roma Pizza, Amsterdam Ave (between 101 St and 102 St.) New York City. The pizza and pasta are Yoshon under the hashgocho of Rabbi Avrohom Marmorstein. Kemach egg noodles are NOT Yoshon at this time, unless there is a Yoshon label on the package. Noodles with the dating code 20512 (2=Feb, 05=day of month, 12=year+2) are NOT Yoshon. Pretzel alert: The Guide had stated that all crunchy pretzels use Yoshon winter wheat flour. They contain malt that should be Yoshon up to a purchase date of March 15. This only hold for regular pretzels. However, WHOLE WHEAT pretzels (not made in Israel) may be Chodosh.
