CORRECTIONS AND ADDITIONS TO THE SECOND ISSUE OF THE GUIDE
THE FOLLOWING AS OF 21 DEC 10
Warnings have been issued by kashrus oragnizations that worms have been
found in boxes of Ronzoni Elbow macaroni. (This has nothing to do with
Yoshon.) We advise that all pasta and barley should always be checked
for bugs. The Guide had for a long time stated that noodles and pasta in
cellophane bags are more secure against bugs entering than cardboard boxes.
Joray Fruit Rollups and other similar licorice type candies usually
contain wheat flour. Such candies, if not listed as Yoshon in the Guide
may be Chodosh.
Dependable and Masbia noodles and pasta are Yoshon even without a Yoshon
label. The Dependable listing on page 25 of the second issue of the
Guide is incorrect and should be deleted.
Kemach Sugar Puff cereal uses durum spring wheat. The Chodosh code is
Sept 1 11 (1 year after packing.)
Gluten free oats are regular oats that are grown free of contamination
from wheat. As such it could be Chodosh if packed starting July 26.
Sensible Portions Veggy Straws and other items from this company, the
package date is 180 days after packing. For items containing wheat, the
Chodosh code for a packing date of Aug 9 is Feb 5 11.
Items manufactured on same equipment as wheat products. If you look at
many packaged foods, you may see a note that it is manufactured on the
same equipment wheat products. This is printed to warn those who may
have a wheat allergy, some residue of wheat may remain on the machines
from earlier production runs. You should consult your own posek to ask
if there is a need to worry that the wheat residue may have been
Chodosh. Examples of this are General Mills cereals such as Honey Nut
Cheerios and Reeses Puffs, also some cashew nuts and other products.
Golden Puff products are listed in the Guide as being Yoshon under the
hashgocho of the Kedessia of London, where they are manufactured. They
are being marketed in the USA under the different hashgochos but are
still Yoshon.
Chuster pasta products with a Yoshon label and a CRC hashgocho for
kashrus are certified by the CRC as being Yoshon.
