E. Acknowledgements
The author thanks the following for their ongoing support of the Chodosh Project.
· Rav Avrohom Greenfeld. Rav Greenfeld has been a behind-the-scene support of the Guide to
Chodosh for many decades, from its first day. He has acted as an advisor and sounding board. He
has proof read each and every issue of the Guide before publication. He helped formulate and submit
halachic questions to rabbonim and other poskim. The Guide would not have matured to its current
state without his ongoing support.
· Mrs. Chaya Rosskamm is our primary research assistant. Since she joined the project about 5 years
ago, she has been helping substantially with much of the research, including helping to contact
companies and mashgichim and updating information. At this point, it is hard to imagine how the
Our Guide project could continue without her able contributions.
thanks to · Mrs. Tzippy Bier has been handling most of the tasts related to the subscriptions to the printed
these literature. This task is being carried out flawlessly and is necessary and much appreciated.
people Others who have contributed significantly over the past years:
· Gross Printing of New Square, NY has provided the services of their state-of-the-art computerized
printing equipment for many years. They take two computer files, one of the Guide and the other of
the address labels. Then they print, staple, fold, and trim the Guide booklets, print on the addresses,
apply stamps and mail the finished booklets. They do this flawlessly sometimes for more than 2000
copies, very shortly after receiving the job.
· Xchange Telecom of Brooklyn, NY has provided the telephone Hot Line service that is the backbone
of the daily support the Guide tries to provide to the public. Their facility provides incoming phone
lines that are never busy, and a message system that callers can manipulate for their convenience.

establishments that produce Yoshon and non-Yoshon affairs on different days or in different halls
on the same day. Dating codes or hashgocho symbols should be checked.
· Matzos and matzo meal have always been assumed to be Yoshon. With the new winter wheat-
spring wheat problem (see A.3 above) it can not be automatically assumed that matzos and matzo
meal are Yoshon.
· Pizza shop and restaurant problems: All fried foods may have problems of Chodosh if they are
fried in the same oil and fryer that are used for spicy fries that contain flour in the ingredients. In
addition, some pizza shops line their ovens with semolina flour. Such flour is usually Chodosh.
Other materials should be substituted, for example potato starch. Finally, sometimes Chodosh and
Yoshon may be in the same oven at the same time. This should not be permitted.
· Check utensils that may have been used for Chodosh. Is koshering required after use for Chodosh?
· Bagel shop problems: Some bagel shops have been selling Yoshon regular bagels from Yoshon
flour and Chodosh bagels from Chodosh whole wheat flour. They did not realize the halachic
problems posed by using the same boiler to cook up the Chodosh and Yoshon bagels prior to baking.
Sometimes both types of bagels were cooked even the same time!
· Caterer cautions: Breads, challehs, rolls, frankfurter and hamburger buns, bagels, wraps, frozen
doughs and blankets, some cakes and cookies, ice cream cakes should all be from sources under
hashgocho for Yoshon. Sometimes the same company will produce both Chodosh and Yoshon. For
example, “6-grain” or “whole grain” breads often are not Yoshon.
· Bread crumbs must come from Yoshon sources. Corn flake crumbs contain malt which may be
Chodosh if packed after Dec. 15.
· Flour used as a thickening agent in soups may be Chodosh.
· Wheat germ, and other wheat products should be checked
· Oats based ingredients A mashgiach mistakenly allowed “Kemach Yoshon” to be printed on a
label on an item where the main ingredient was Yoshon wheat flour. He did not take note of the fact
that the ingredients also included oats that may be Chodosh.
· Flavoring additives using wheat or malt products. For example, wheat flour is included in the
ingredients of a red pepper spice mixture used to flavor some wraps.
· Barley for example used by caterers in soups or cholent should be checked to make sure that it is
Yoshon.
· Spelt or rye products. If made in the USA, these are Yoshon. From other countries they have to be
checked out.
· Tuna fish mixes and salads used by restaurants may contain bread crumbs or flour.
· Policy regarding malt should be verified.

1. An Introduction to Chodosh
This Guide is meant to provide practical guidance for those who wish to know which foods in the marketplace are
Yoshon. As such, this is not the place for a detailed technical discussion on the agricultural and manufacturing
factors relevant to the production of Yoshon. Here we present a very brief summary of these factors.

=אYoshon with hashgocho, no checking of codes; =בYoshon with hashgocho must check codes
=דNo hashgocho, check codes; =חChodosh; =סsofek, uncertain
1.1 The definition of Chodosh
Chodosh is defined as including only grains in five categories: wheat, barley, oats, rye, and spelt. Any of these grains
that took root before Pesach become Yoshon after the second day of pesach. (According to some poskim this means
that the planting has to occur not later than 3 days before the second day of Pesach, others require 2 weeks before
the second day of Pesach.) If one of these grains missed this planting deadline, then it is considered as having been
Basic planted too late to be Yoshon for this year. This grain will be harvested several months later. From the time of its
definition and harvest (typically the July-August period) until the Pesach of the following year, this grain is defined as Chodosh.
facts about This is the forbidden Chodosh grain, whose avoidance is the subject of this Guide.
Chodosh Note that only these five types of grain can be Chodosh. Other grains such as buckwheat, rice, corn, etc. never have
the problem of Chodosh.
There exist two kinds of crops: winter crops and spring crops. In the Northern Hemisphere (such as in America)
winter crops are planted in the fall, remain in the ground though the winter (and more importantly for us, through
pesach) to be harvested in the early summer. Since these crops were in the ground through pesach, by the time they
are harvested they are Yoshon. In the USA, rye and spelt are both winter crops and are Yoshon (caution, “rye bread”
contains wheat flour in addition to the rye and could thus be Chodosh). Spelt flour from Canada is also mostly
Yoshon. However, rye or spelt products imported from elsewhere could be Chodosh.
Spring crops in the USA are usually planted after pesach and are harvested towards the end of the summer. Therefore
from the harvest until the following pesach they are Chodosh. In the USA most of the oats and barley are Chodosh
until the pesach that follows the harvest.
Wheat in the USA is grown as two distinct crops, winter wheat and spring wheat. These two wheats differ
chemically. Winter wheat is Yoshon. Its chemical properties make it best for most cookies, crackers, pretzels, cakes,
matzos and other baked products that are soft or crumbly. Thus the wheat ingredients in most of these products used
to be Yoshon (however, for practical guidance, please see the specific foods below or in the index, also See Preface
A.3). The exception to this rule is a small part of the Far West USA, near Los Angeles, where the cake and cookie
flours could contain some spring wheat. Other exceptions include some “heimishe” brands of cookies, which may
use spring wheat flours.
Spring wheat is used for most breads, challehs, and pasta products such as noodles, macaroni and spaghetti.
Therefore these items may be Chodosh from approximately the end of the summer until pesach.
Exactly which items are Chodosh depends on the type of grain, the time of the year and the region of the country.
Please see specific items below for more details.

=דNo hashgocho, check codes; =חChodosh; =סsofek, uncertain
A word of caution is offered to those who wish to eat away from home during the Chodosh season. From this Guide
it should be obvious that avoidance of Chodosh requires being up to date about a continuously changing situation
and understanding complicated items such as package codes. We have found that people do not always keep up with
the changes. Therefore they are in all honesty claiming that their food is Yoshon, while following outdated
guidelines. This has been especially true for people who themselves do not observe the dinim of Yoshon, but wish
to prepare Yoshon for kiddushim or Purim, for example. It is important to reemphasize that the Chodosh situation
keeps changing and last year’s (or maybe even last month’s) rules may no longer be valid. We try to spread the word
on ongoing changes through the telephone Hot Line, updates of this Guide, and email.
In addition, within the revised guidelines observed by the Guide to Chodosh, we can no longer recommend many
foods without hashgocho for Yoshon. People not up to date to this change may still claim they are serving Yoshon,
based on outdated guidelines or claims of Yoshon without the hashgocho needed to back up such claims.

1.3.2 Storing Yoshon-Avoiding worm problems
The Chodosh harvest starts around July-August. Products made from the new Chodosh crop start becoming available
in the market place each year in the mid July-September time frame. Starting Chodosh dates are given below for
specific items. The Chodosh season ends on Pesach. Some foods that people want are not available in Yoshon form
during the Chodosh season. These foods that could become Chodosh in the fall must be stored so that they last until
the following Pesach. Storage of perishable foods could result in worm contamination unless proper precautions are
exercised.
Yoshon flour used by Yoshon bakeries, pizza shops and such for bread, chalahs, rolls, coffee cake, pizza, etc. is
available from several sources. The only method that was available until a few years ago used flour milled at the
How to avoid end of the summer from Yoshon wheat before the Chodosh came into the mill. The milled flour was stored in 100
worm pound bags for the 6-7 month duration until Pesach. Such flour that is under hashgocho for Yoshon is usually stored
contamination under refrigerated conditions, to prevent the hatching of worms. A newer approach that was used the first time during
the 04-05 season, has a mill storing Yoshon wheat in separate silos, along the silos of Chodosh wheat. The Yoshon
wheat is sealed by a mashgiach and is only opened and ground into flour under the supervision of the mashgichim.
This Yoshon wheat is being milled each week and being shipped directly to the distributors and bakeries without
the need to store flour before shipment. The malt that is added is always stored Yoshon malt. Therefore this Yoshon
flour has the same freedom from worms that the freshly ground Chodosh flour has. (This freshly ground flour is
only available in large 100 pound bags sold to bakeries. It is not sold to consumers.) It should be noted, that almost
every year, so far as we know, there were no reported problems in flour produced either by the new freshly ground
method or the old refrigerated storage method.
· Flour that consumers buy in small bags, such as the 5 pound bags, have a greater danger of worm
contamination. The seal on these bags is not as secure as the big bakery bags. Therefore, use the dating
code when available to make sure that the bag was not made too long before your purchase date. It is quite
possible that flour bags stored in warehouses or on grocery shelves may have picked up worms from the
outside through incompletely sealed openings. It is also advisable that you store these bags at home under
worm-free conditions. (See below) Sifting of flour is also recommended.
· Noodles, pasta and barley may become wormy if not stored properly. Special care must be taken with these
items. These can easily become wormy even at the grocery storage and store facilities.
· Rabbi Efraim Israelowitz of the Yeshiva of Brooklyn reported a number of years ago that noodles and pasta
stored in airtight plastic or cellophane bags are the most secure in terms of preventing worms from entering
from the outside. Cardboard boxes and paper bags are much more vulnerable, especially when damaged in
handling. He reported that some barley sold in the groceries is often stored in cellophane bags that have
holes in them. These holes are there to aid in ventilating the barley. However, the same holes provide easy
entry to worms. Thus all barley, whether stored for Yoshon or recently purchased, should be checked for
worms before use.
· RECOMMENDED STORAGE METHODS
o The best storage method to avoid worm contamination, the only one recommended without
hesitation, is in refrigerators and freezers.
o Sealed plastic bags and containers may be useful.
o Long term storage without the above protection, especially in the warm weather, is not advisable

2. OTHER IMPORTANT INFORMATION
2.1 Glossary of important terms used in this Guide
There are three important terms used in this Guide that are related to dates for items in Section ד. All together,
they are referred to by the general term “Chodosh date”.
Package code: For packaged foods, there is usually some code to indicate when that item was packed. When
used with the Chodosh cutoff dates in Section 2.3 below, the package code can be used to determine whether
the contents of the package are Yoshon or may be Chodosh. Such codes can be in the form of a “Best if used
Definitions by…” date or some non-obvious set of numbers and letters. These codes are usually stamped or embossed
of Chodosh on the package. They are not part of the regular printed label and they are not the bar code.
dates and
Alphabetical order usually abbreviated “alph order”: Some package codes list the month of the packing in
codes
an alphabetical order as part of the dating code, where a different letter is used for each month. Unless stated
otherwise, this will be as follows: A=Jan, B=Feb, C=Mar, D=Apr, E=May, F=June, G=July, H=Aug, I=Sep,
J=Oct, K=Nov, L=Dec.
Day of the year: Used in some package codes indicates the number of days that have passed since the
previous Dec 31. For example, 032 would be Feb 1. This is also sometimes referred to as the “Julian” date.
Winter wheat vs Yoshon: If we are reasonably certain that all ingredients in a food are completely Yoshon,
then we use the term “Yoshon”. If we know that the item uses winter wheat, but it may have other ingredients
that may pose a Chodosh problem, then we use the term “winter wheat”. Thus, for example, for cereals or
cookies where the Guide states that they are from “winter wheat”, it is important that the ingredients should
be checked for malt or other items that could be Chodosh.
ב-This designation indicates cases where the hashgocho for Yoshon does not include every item, or cover
the entire season, or may not cover malt. The consumer has to check for exceptions, as noted in each case.
Categories ג-This category was used in earlier years and has been discontinued.
אּ, ב, ד, ח, ס
ד-Indicates cases where the item is Yoshon without hashgocho for Yoshon. The Yoshon recommendation is
either based on the Yoshon status being determined from sources independent of the company or based on a
cutoff date derived from the US Department of Agriculture harvest information, plus a package dating code.
ס-This indicates cases where the manufacturer may claim that the item is Yoshon. However, the Guide can
not recommend the item as Yoshon due to lack of hashgocho for Yoshon, or more information is needed.
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 have developed an estimate that at
least 10-17 days should pass from the first reported start of the harvest before the Chodosh would start to be
used. For beer derived from barley malt, we now use November 15 as the Chodosh production cutoff date.
For other items containing malt, this date is Dec 15
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 for this year, based on estimates
of the 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.
The housewife often uses the same flour for a variety of different baked goods. Bakeries are different. In
general, bakers have different flour mixes for different products. The following general rules should be noted
about commercial flours used in bakeries. The following is being supplied as background information only.
In this Guide, we only recommend as Yoshon those bakeries, pizza shops, and other establishments that have
hashgochos for Yoshon.
White cake and cookie professional bakery flours are usually 100% Yoshon (with the possible exception of
the Los Angeles area. Other exceptions include some “heimishe” brands of cookies which use spring wheat
flours. Also, some commercial cakes and cookies may not be using only regular bakery flours made for cakes
and cookies. Some may mix in Chodosh spring wheat flours.)
14
=אYoshon with hashgocho, no checking of codes; =בYoshon with hashgocho must check codes
=דNo hashgocho, check codes; =חChodosh; =סsofek, uncertain
The following types of bakery flours may be Chodosh after a given Chodosh date: high-gluten, high-strength,
bread-flours, patent, clear, whole-wheat, graham, and pizza flours.
Thus if the baker uses only cake or cookie flour, the item may be Yoshon everywhere except in the Far West
What to USA. This is usually the case for soft and crumbly cakes such as sponge and marble cakes, as well as for
watch for in some crumbly cookies. Cakes that are hard, chewy, and bread-like will usually be made from bread flour that
local could be Chodosh. Examples are yeast cakes, bobkes and danishes. (But see Preface A.3.)
bakeries It was noted earlier that pure rye flour is always Yoshon in the USA. However the “rye bread” sold in bakeries
contains about 70% spring wheat flour and may be Chodosh.
Spelt flour has been used lately, for example to produce matzos, rolls, crackers or cookies for those who are
allergic to wheat. Spelt in items made in the USA are Yoshon.
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.

=אYoshon with hashgocho, no checking of codes; =בYoshon with hashgocho must check codes
=דNo hashgocho, check codes; =חChodosh; =סsofek, uncertain
· 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 Eida Hachereidis Badatz
Is Yerushalaim, Rabbi O. Y. Westheim of Manchester, Kedassia of London, or Rabbi Schneeblag will
hashgocho always be Yoshon, with or without Yoshon on the label. This is true regardless of where these were
makpid on packed.
malt? · 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-Hisachdus (not to be confused with the cRc of Chicago), Rabbi
Weissmadl, Rabbi Shlomo Stern (the Debrecener Rav), Mechon Lakashrus of New Square-Rabbi
Mordechai Unger, Rabbi Aaron Teitelbaum (Nirbater Rav), Rabbi Yechiel Babad (Tartekover Rav),
Bais Din of New Square, Vaad Harabonim of Monsey, Volover Rav Rav Nochum Efraim
Teitelbaum.
· 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
3.1.3 directly below): KAJ, Kof-K, Rabbi Gruber, cRc (Chicago Rabbinical Council, not to be
confused with the CRC-Hisachdus), Kehilah Kashrus (of Brooklyn). Therefore, after Dec 15, items
under these hashgochos may contain Chodosh malt.
· Other “Yoshon” label situations have to be investigated on a case-by-case basis.
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 become a problem this year after Dec 15 for items other than beer. If that malt is made from
Chodosh barley, then the halacha may depend on the application as follows:
· Some Rabbonim are completely machmir and hold that Chodosh malt is not botul in either
application (1) 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 in items other than beer is either always botul, or for other reasons is not
necessary to check for. In past years, one such reason was the fact that malt becomes a problem
much later in the season (after Dec 15) and in many application only small amounts of malt are used.
Therefore, they assumed 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 an other. They do check for the Yoshon status of all ingredients, but they
do not check into the status of any malt that is used.

Many pizza shops and similar establishments serve spicy (potato) fries. These fries often contain flour that
Fried may be Chodosh. That potential Chodosh problem is compounded by the fact that the establishment often
foods uses the same 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.
An other problem area that has been found regards the use of an oven to heat Yoshon and Chodosh in the
same oven at the same time. (Use of the same oven even at different times may pose halachic problems.)
Maashgichim should make sure that this practice is not allowed when they certify Yoshon. (For example, in
shops where the hashgocho for Yoshon only certifies the pizza, other non-Yoshon items should not share the
same oven.)
Due to such possible problems and others, the Guide will not list any establishment as being Yoshon, unless
the Yoshon status is confirmed by a hashgocho.
