We asked him and he said it’s a “sfeik sfeika” if you’re mechuyav to do it, since it applied IN ERETZ YISROEL, AT THE TIME OF THE BAIS HAMIKDOSH. He said since we don’t have the Bais HaMikdosh today, we should be careful if we live in Eretz Yisroel, but NOT chutz la’aretz.

When the Rebbe ate bakery cake in public at farbrengens, did that bakery concern itself with Yoshon? I believe it was from the bakery on Albany Street. I’ll remind those who are old enough to remember that it was not so many years ago when there was no created public awareness of the issue of Yoshon. No products were marked as being Yoshon. NO ONE concerned themselves with it (outside of a few secretive individuals whose names will , I have to assume, be speculated in the comments that follow, and that of course misses the point entirely regarding a… Read more »

israeli products with a hechsher are all yoshon

the summer crop is an isuue, besides barley, chodosh products come out in the stores more like november, december from the summer crop. barley is processed much quicker, so chodosh in barley can be much earlier

It all depends on the variety and location of the wheat.
Generally it starts at the end of the summer to as late as after succos.

Please note: Those whose poskim follow the halacha or have taken on the stringencyee concerning yoshon and chadash do so AFTER SUCCOS until Pesach. Now after Pesach it is not chal.

“After Pesach, some insist on eating ‘yashan’.”

This is a ridiculous amhoratzus, and anyone who really does say that should be told that they’re making fools of themselves. After Pesach is precisely when there is NO need to take care, because EVERYTHING is yoshon. It’s only later, when a new crop comes in and makes its way to the stores, that we can discuss whether we should be careful or not. But now?! For the next few months there is no such thing as chodosh.
