Yoshon Information: Latest Yoshon Season Update & Actual Final Season Start Info:

November 10, 2025 from the Star-K. :
- Wheat:
  - Pasta products, durum and semolina flours
    - USA products -Aug 1 is the production cutoff date. This means products lists should be updated to reflect Aug 1 as the last production day that one can assume they are yoshon.
    - Canadian pasta products – No Chodosh concerns yet.
  - All other Flours - A number of mills received Chodosh already. The list online has been updated with all the info we have so far. We are working on updating the lists of all the other mills as well.
    If we don’t have a date listed, use Sept 2 as the default cutoff date. Flours are typically dated 12-18 months and whole wheat 6-12 months.
    DISCLAIMER: Sometimes we have found the same label with 12 months and sometimes with 18 months. It is often obvious from the package which one it is (i.e. if the date printed on the package is over 12 months away) but you may need to adjust the date.
  - Fresh Baked Goods - Should NOT be assumed Yoshon if purchased after September 15th.
  - All other packaged wheat products - Can be assumed yoshon until Oct 1.
- Barley & Oats (Raw) - Working on specific info. In the meantime, use Sept 15 as the packing date cutoff. If the package states it was packed on Sept 15 or earlier, it is Yoshon. For products made with barley or oats, use 10-1-25.
- Rye & Spelt - Always Yoshon in N. America.
