I forgot to attach the following usual addendum to the Chodosh Bulletin I
sent out today. That is attached below.
In addition, I would like to remind all of the following tentative Chodosh
dates. These are based on last year's experience. More accurate dates will
be sent out to this E mail list as they become known.
Freshly baked products in local bakeries such as breads, challehs, rolls,
bagels probably Yoshon if purchased up to: Sept 7 in the East and Far West,
Aug 25 in the Mid West.
Packaged foods containing wheat, other than pasta probably Yoshon if
purchased up to Sept 15. After that package codes have to be used.
Packaged pasta probably safe if packed before Sept 30, probably safe to
purchase up to Oct 15.
Foods containing oats may be Chodosh as early as the purchase date of Aug
15. However, they are probably safe if packed up to Sept. 15, probably safe
to purchase up to Oct 8. (The reason for this range of dates is that
US-grown oats is harvested starting late July, but many large companies use
Canadian oats that is harvested much later.)
