CHODOSH BULLETIN AS OF 2 Nov 05
WARNING: Kemach has announced that there have been reports of bugs in one batch of their high gluten flour. This flour has the dating code on it of Y251051. Kemach recommends that this flour be sifted before use. We are not aware of bugs in any other flour. We also do not believe that this bug problem has any connection to Yoshon. It seems to have been a quality control problem at the factory doing the packing of this one batch.
Presser bakery, 1720 Ave. M., Brooklyn. Everything in the store is Yoshon. No mashgiach for Yoshon.
Pita Sababa, 540 Kings Hwy Brooklyn. Pita Yoshon under the hashgocho of Rabbi Gornish.
Chopsies kishke and Chopsie's pizza are both Yoshon under hashgocho of the Star K.
Benzs kishke is Yoshon under the hashgocho of the Star K.
Pillsbury home baking flour information: The all purpose white flour is always made from winter wheat. For those who are concerned about the malt, flour with the date up to June 15, 2007 should have Yoshon malt in it. Pillsbury whole wheat flour and bread flour both have the probable Chodosh date on the package of August 15, 2006.
Kemach soup mixes. Split pea soup is always Yoshon. Vegetable soup mix and minestrone soup mix are Yoshon at this time and are expected to be Yoshon for several months. Package code to be supplied shortly.
Samuel Adams beer made from barley malt and under the hashgocho of the star K. is Yoshon up to a package date of April 30, 2006.
Krasdale oats cereal with the letter S in the date the Chodosh date is two years after packing. In that case the probable Chodosh code is August 2007S.
General Mills/Nestle cereals sold in Israel. There is an error on page 11. The oats Chodosh date should be Oct 1. On page 29, the text for the paragraph (not the table) should be amended to read: The date on the package when sold in Israel is one year after packing. Use the packing dates given in this paragraph above.
Quaker oats cereals packed in Canada and sold in the USA have a Chodosh packing date of September 1. The code for the hot oats cereal would be 540 days after this date. The package date for this would be February 24, 2007.
Tradition Soups on page 39, there is an error in this sample code given. The probable Chodosh date of August 15 would translate to a package date of August 15, 2007, 2 years after packing.

The Guide to Chodosh was mailed out to all of the subscribers on Friday, September 23. The following are corrections to the new Guide to Chodosh:
Tradition foods instant soups on page 39 there is an error in the code. The Chodosh date should be August 07 not August 06.
The probable Chodosh date for General Mills oats is October 1. For the General Mills Peanut Butter Cookie Crisp cereal the date on or packages seven months after packing. For that the Chodosh code would be May 1 2006. For General Mills cookie crisp cereal the date is eight months after packing giving a code of June 1 2006.
The malt Chodosh date for Gold Medal flour on page 25 should have been Jul 15 07, 18 months after packing.
