CHODOSH
BULLETIN-2 Aug 16
THE OFFICIAL
START OF THE NEW CHODOSH SEASON
The Chodosh season has begun this year somewhat earlier than usual
due to the agricultural conditions in the growing areas. Our estimates of the
start of Chodosh for each crop are based on the reports from the US Department
of Agriculture. This year, this information is enhanced by reports sent to me
by several mashgichim, for which I thank these mashgichim.
PLEASE POST THIS BULLETIN IN SHULS AND OTHER LOCATIONS WHERE
THOSE WHO ARE CAREFUL ABOUT CHODOSH WOULD SEE IT.
1) Freshly baked
items using spring wheat, including breads, challahs, bagels, rolls,
pizza and some cakes and cookies may be Chodosh in the Midwest after the
PURCHASE DATE of Jul 29. Elsewhere in the US, this date would be Aug 12.
2) Packaged foods
from spring wheat may be Chodosh after the PACKING date of Jul 29, or
the PURCHASE date of Aug 12.
3) Noodles and
pasta may be Chodosh after the PACKING date of Aug 13 and the PURCHASE
date of Aug 27.
4) Barley,
such as pearled barley, may be Chodosh after the PACKING date of Aug 9 and
PURCHASE date of Aug 23.
5) Oats:
Oats in all products, including cereals, may be Chodosh starting with a PACKING
date of Jul 20, PURCHASE date of Aug 3. (The known exception is for General
Mills cereals including all Cheerios, for which the Chodosh packing date is
July 31 or later.)
6) Barley malt
(also listed in the ingredients as “malt”) may be Chodosh as of the packing
date of Dec 15. Package codes should be checked after the purchase
date of Dec 15 for beer made from barley malt and Mar
15 for malt in other products.
Even though
pesach was late on the solar calendar this year, still almost all of the 3
crops of interest were planted after pesach and are Chodosh. The early harvest
this year is due to weather conditions in the growing areas.
