Note: The above dedication to Reb Yaakov ZT"L and Reb Moshe ZT"L is an expression of gratitude for the
support and advice that they gave to the publication of this Guide. It should not imply that they gave any

"Chodosh".

NOTICE
WOULD YOU EAT MEAT OR CHICKEN WITHOUT ANY
HASHGOCHO?
IF NOT, WHY WOULD YOU EAT “YOSHON” WITHOUT ANY
HASHGOCHO?
The Guide to Chodosh recommends that before you purchase “Yoshon” from
bakeries, pizza shops, restaurants and similar establishments and before you
purchase packaged products, make sure that there is a hashgocho that takes
responsibility for certifying that it is Yoshon. (The Guide does not provide any
such hashgocho.) That is why the Guide only lists establishments and items with
such hashgocho. (The exceptions are items listed with category “”ד. These are
items where, by using the dating codes, we can determine that the food was packed
before the beginning of the Chodosh harvest as given by the U. S. Department of
Agriculture. If such items are purchased with date codes earlier than the cutoff
given in this Guide, then you can be sure that they are Yoshon, even though there is
no specific Yoshon hashgocho on such items. )

=אYoshon with hashgocho, no checking of codes; =בYoshon with hashgocho must check codes
=דNo hashgocho, check codes; =חChodosh; =סsofek, uncertain
BE YOUR OWN YOSHON INVESTIGATOR!
What could you do if your favorate product does not have a hashgocho for
Yoshon and is not mentioned in this Guide?
Call the manufacturer and ask them how to interpret the dating code for
items packed on or after the following cutoff dates (i.e. ask what the package
code would be for the following dates. These are the first dates that may be
Chodosh):
• If it contains oats, Jul 26 2010
• If it contains no oats but does contain wheat Aug 9 2010
• If it is noodles or pasta and barley, Aug 16 2010
• If does not contain oats, wheat, barley but does contain malt or barley
malt, Dec 15
Go to the store and ask them if they are Yoshon. If they claim to be Yoshon,
ask them who is the mashgiach that certifies the Yoshon status (not just
kashrus, but Yoshon.) Then check with that mashgiach to find out what
items produced by that establishment are Yoshon under his hashgocho.
For more guidance to help with your own investigation, see Section 3 of this
Guide.
Of course, you could also call the Chodosh Hot Line at 718-305-5133.
However you may get faster results on your own, since we can not always
immediately investigate all new product questions that are called in.

Sectios 2.1 and 2.2 have not changed since the first issue and are not reproduced here. If you
have not received the first issue, contact the Hot Line at 718-305-5133 for a free copy of the
omitted sections.
When it comes to effective cutoff dates for spring wheat we will recognize the fact that the majority of the
harvested crops are transferred to central shipping points or stored. We continue to use the estimate that at least
10-17 should pass from the start of the harvest before the Chodosh would start to be used.. For malt and beer
derived from barley malt, use use December 15 Chodosh as the cutoff date. This has been consistently reported as
being reasonable over most of the years.
Regarding spelt, we learned in ’07 that all spelt whether grown in the USA or in Canada can be assumed to be
Yoshon, as detailed later in this Guide.
In the table below we summarize the cutoff dates recommended by the Guide, based on US Government supplied
harvest data.. 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.
• Is there a Yoshon label on the package? If there is such a label besides the kashrus hashgocho, then the
item is Yoshon, UNLESS the only hashgocho printed on the label is Rav Nochum Efraim Teitelbaum,

The Volover Rebbe. With this hashgocho the Yoshon status is not guaranteed by the mashgiach. (Note
the Volover Rav should not be confused with Rav Aaron Teitelbaum, the Nirbater Rav who DOES give
hashgochos for Yoshon.)
• Check the Guide to see if the item is listed as Yoshon.
• If it does not have a Yoshon label, and it is not listed in the Guide, then you can call the consumer
information telephone line of the company that makes your package. Find out how to tell from the code
on the package what was the manufacturing date of the item. It may be Chodosh if it contains
o oats and was manufactured July 26 or later
o wheat or barley (not barley malt) and was manufactured Aug 9 or later
o noodles or pasta if it was manufactured Aug 16 or later.
• If the above do not provide answers, try to call the Chodosh Hot Line at 718-305-5133 and leave your
question. (However, you should get a quicker answer if you do your own investigation, as above.)
Does a “Yoshon” label on a package guarantee that it is Yoshon? Maybe not. Such a label may not be any more of
a guarantee than the letter “K” on a package guaranteeing kashrus. It all depends on who is behind such a label. It
may be that all of the ingredients are Yoshon. On the other hand maybe only the wheat flour is Yoshon. It is also
possible that the company may claim Yoshon whereas the hashgocho takes responsibility only for kashrus and not
the Yoshon status.
• For those packaged foods that are listed in this Guide as being category אּor בfor Yoshon, the
organization responsible for verifying Yoshon is stated in the Guide.
• All packaged foods packed in Israel under a reliable hashgocho for kashrus will always be Yoshon, with
or without Yoshon on the label.
• All packaged foods packed under hashgocho for kashrus of the Badatz Yerushalaim, Rabbi O. Y.
Westheim of Manchester or Kedassia of London will always be Yoshon, with or without Yoshon on the
label. This is true regardless of where these were packed.
• All items that have any one or more of the following hashgochos for kashrus AND a Yoshon label on the
package are guaranteed to be Yoshon, including the malt if it is used: O-U, Star-K of Baltimore, O-K
Laboratories, CRC, the Central Rabbinical Council of Brooklyn also known as the Hisachdus and Satmar
Yoshon (this CRC is not the same as the Chicago CRC below), Rabbi Weissmadl, Rabbi Shlomo Stern (the
package Debrecener Rav), Mechon Lakashrus of New Square-Rabbi Mordechai Unger, Rabbi Aaron Teitelbaum
labels (Nirbater Rav), Rabbi Yechiel Babad (Tartekover Rav), Bais Din of New Square, Vaad Harabonim of
Queens, Vaad Harabonim of Monsey, Rabbi Eliezer Schneebalg of England.
• All items that have one of the following hashgochos for kashrus AND a Yoshon label on the package are
guaranteed to be Yoshon. However the malt if it is used is not checked for Yoshon (see Section 3.2
directly below) : KAJ, Kof-K, Rabbi Gruber, CRC (Chicago Rabbinical Council), Kehilah Kashrus (of
Brooklyn). Therefore, after Dec 15, items under these hashgochos may contain Chodosh malt.
• Items with a Yoshon label and only the kashrus hashgocho of Rav Nochum Efraim Teitelbaum, The
Volover Rebbe can not be recommended as Yoshon by the Guide. This is because despite the Yoshon
label, the Volover Rav will not take any responsibility for Yoshon. Note that the Volover Rav should not
be confused with Rav Aaron Teitelbaum, the Nirbater Rav, or with Rabbi Baruch Teitelbaum, the son of
the Volover Rav who DO give hashgochos for Yoshon.)
• NEW INFORMATION: Vaad Hakashrus of Kiryas Yoel does not give any hashgochos for Yoshon.
This means that they will also not take responsibility for the Yoshon status of Weinstock pasta products
or Reisman Bakery in Monroe. (Note that that this is different from the Reisman Bakery in Brooklyn that
is Yoshon.) The one exception is Quality flour sold in brown paper bags that is Yoshon under this
hashgocho.

3.1.3 Policy regarding malt
It is explained in Section 10.1 below that malt or barley malt, when listed in the ingredients of a packaged food,
can be used for one of two purposes: (1) added to most baking flours as a chemical agent to allow the yeast to react
with the water and air to make the dough rise, and (2) as a sweetening coloring agent. Chodosh malt may start to
Is become a problem this year after Dec 15. If that malt is made from Chodosh barley, then the halacha may depend
hashgocho on the application as follows:
makpid on • Some Rabbonim are completely machmir and hold that Chodosh malt is not botul in either application (1)
malt? or (2).
• Others hold that Chodosh malt is botul in application (1), but not (2). This is the psak I got from Harav
Hagoan Yaakov Kaminecki ZT”L and others and is the one that I personally follow in my home.
• Others yet hold that malt is either always botul, or for other reasons is not necessary to check for. One
such reason is the fact that malt becomes a problem so late in the season (after Dec 15) and in many
application only small amounts of malt are used. Therefore, they assume that the malt is probably old.
In Section 3.1.2 above, when we mention that a hashgocho is not makpid on malt, that means they follow the third
opinion for one reason or another. They do check for the Yoshon status of all ingredients, but they do not check
into the status of any malt that is used.
3.2 Bakeries, restaurants, pizza shops, catering halls and similar establishments
producing ready-to-eat foods
The Guide recommends that that you accept foods only from producers where there a mashgiach that takes
responsibility for Yoshon, not just kashrus.
Many pizza shops and similar establishments serve spicy (potato) fries. These fries often contain flour that may be
Fried Chodosh. That potential Chodosh problem is compounded by the fact that the establishment often uses the same
foods oil for other fried foods that contain no Chodosh ingredients. Therefore, all fried foods in such establishments have
a possibility of containing Chodosh flour. All responsible hashgochos either make sure that spicy fries are Yoshon
or they advise that fried foods not be treated as Yoshon.
WARNING: Matzo meal has always been assumed to be Yoshon. We believe that this is still true for real matzo
meal. However, at least one brand of “fake” matzo meal is being sold under the brand name of Kerry. This
product, which is under the kashrus hashgocho of the Kof-K, is really made from bread crumbs which may be
Chodosh. We do not know at this time if there are other such “fake” matzo meals on the market. Neither do we
have information yet on which products may use the Kerry “matzo meal”. We will publish any new information
that we uncover via the usual email updates and Hot Line News recordings.

How 3.2.3“Yoshon” claims at catering halls and other establishments
reliable are
claims of The claim of “Yoshon” at catering halls, restaurants, pizza shops and other such establishments should be treated
Yoshon at like a claim for kashrus. One has to know what and who is behind such a claim. If it is backed up by a reliable,
catering competent hashgocho organization or mashgiach then that is good assurance of the reliability of the Yoshon. If
halls, etc.? not, then one can face some of the following scenarios based on some real-life situations:
• “Of course the baked products are Yoshon. We get them from a fine frum bakery who told us that they
are Yoshon.”
• “We order all our noodles and other supplies from XYZ Distributors who have Yoshon supplies.” (Did
anyone check if only Yoshon was delivered? Delivery mix-ups occur sometimes.)
• “We are all Yoshon. The barley in the soup? I am not sure let me ask. …Yes, the cook told me that the
delivery man told him that the barley is Yoshon.”
• We checked for Yoshon. It did not occur to us to check for the Yoshon status of the breading of the
chicken.
• Last night you had a non-Yoshon affair at your hall. Did anyone check if the unopened Chodosh boxes
that were left over from yesterday were not used by mistake for tonight’s Yoshon affair?
Due to such possible problems and others, as of last year, the Guide will not list any establishment as being
Yoshon, unless the Yoshon status is confirmed by a hashgocho.
