The following chodesh information is from Rabbi Yoseph Herman on January 19, 2015. "I sent out a reminder last week that since January 15 has passed, even items that contain malt for which dating codes are not known should no longer be purchased without verifying that the malt they contain is Yoshon. (Note that the safe purchase date of Jan 15 did not apply to beer. That date for beer was Nov 15.)"
The following chodesh information is from Rabbi Yoseph Herman on January 15, 2015. The Chodosh Guide had recommended that all items that contain malt, for which the dating code is not known, may be purchased assuming that the malt is Yoshon up to the purchase date of Jan. 15. After that date, one should seek confirmation that the malt is Yoshon. (Note, as mentioned in the Guide, that malt in baking flour, is not a problem according to some poskim.)
The Guide incorrectly stated that items from wheat or oats produced in Canada are Yoshon at least up to Sept 22. This is not correct. The free .pdf version of Guide to Chodosh for the year 5775 is available by sending an email to chodosh@sefer.org. Kashrut.com has links to Pas Yisroel and Yoshon products lists at www.kashrut.com/consumer/baked_goods
