*NEW GUIDE TO CHODOSH AVAILABLE FOR DOWNLOAD BY EMAIL*
The first issue of the Guide to Chodosh for the upcoming season is ready
for you to download by email from one of two locations. Send a blank
email message to ONE of the following:
chod...@sefer.org
chod...@moruda.com <mailto:chod...@moruda.com>
The new Guide will go to the printer on Monday, Aug 24. We hope that
those who sent in paid subscriptions, as well as the local distributors
in the various cities in the USA will receive the printed copies by US
mail by early next week.
In the table below we summarize the cutoff dates recommended by the
Guide, based on preliminary estimates of the US Government supplied
harvest data. These estimated dates will be updated as necessary in
later issues of the Guide. The “Packing date” indicates that all
packaged goods with dating codes that were before that date should be
Yoshon. Starting with the “Packing date” and later, they may be Chodosh.
The “Purchase date” is the first date for which we feel it is no longer
safe to purchase the foods without checking for dating codes. We also
give the first recommended date to stop purchasing freshly baked items
produced at the local bakeries.
