THE ONGOING WINTER WHEAT-SPRING WHEAT PROBLEM: THE ONGOING WINTER WHEAT-SPRING WHEAT PROBLEM: MATZOS, GEFILTE FISH, PRETZELS, CAKES AND CRACKERS
"Two years ago, we became aware of a new problem. Namely, since the inception of the Guide more than 40 years ago, people in the milling and baking industry had a rule of thumb that all soft and crumbly baked products including crackers, matzos and pretzels are always made from winter wheat which is Yoshon. We now learned that over the last few years the winter wheat crops have been so low in protein, that many of these products now have spring wheat flour mixed in, making them possibly Chodosh. Even ingredients labeled “winter wheat” may, by law, have even more than 50% spring wheat content! This has required us to reexamine all products that have in the past been labeled Yoshon following the old rules. This reexamination is an ongoing process. This issue of the Guide lists those crackers, matzos, items using matzo meal (such as gefilte fish) and pretzels that have at the time of this printing been confirmed as being Yoshon."
