For the last two years, I’ve used matzah made by “Tiferet ha’matzot” in Dnepropetrovsk, Ukraine. The one-pound boxes don’t seem to have any marking that tells you the date of baking. Is the date buried somewhere in the Hebrew text on the box?
Above the company’s address, there’s a note that says “Best before printed on the box.”, but there’s only an empty space below that.
Who gives a hechsher on these Matzahs?
I didn’t see any dates on my boxes of Shatzer, Lakewood, pups zteilim, or Boro Park matzos.
Matzah is baked from a bit before Chanukah, that is why they don’t print a date so people won’t get scared that their Matzah is old.
Hand matzoh is never dated because who in thier Right mind would buy matzhos baked before chanuka!
iac, why’d you have four different brands?
Stores with leftover Matzahs sometimes store it for sale for the following year Pesach.
“Then they could at least put the Jewish year on the box, or “for Pesach 2018”, so you know it’s not leftover from a previous year.”
what do you think happens to most pesach products that dont sell? deep freeze till the next year. unless it is something they can put into the “gluten free” section.
Joseph: bulk was whole wheat from BP bakery, regular was from Shatzer (burnt), one DIL needed thinner matzos and her family uses Lakewood, Pupa Tzeilim from the Rov of my mechutan’s shul (present from the Rov to my son).
DovidBT: I agree with you but I have never seen it done with the hand matzos but is common among the machine matzos. Bought “Shoprite” machine matzos months after Pesach and it tasted fresh.
Why would machine matzah remain fresher longer than hand matzah?
Joseph: Most machine matza is sealed in plastic. Moat hand matza is not.

Machine matzoh for 1 has an inner sealed plastic and 2, machine matzoh doesnt have any human or non human hands touching them. So no sweat or smell or hairs.The shmura spelt Matzah we got from ______ was not as crispy as their regular, because they bake it earlier in the year. You have the option to rebake it for a few minutes if it’s not that fresh.
No self respecting supermarket or Matzah bakery will sell you last year’s Matzah. Maybe potato starch or other dry products that keep well from year to year they’ll re-shelve. And I don’t think deep freezing is cost effective for most Pesach foods.
Perhaps the imported Matzah is required to have a date. So the date “field” is printed, but they mostly omit it as no one in customs actually checks all boxes… Or only specific countries need a date. Just my two cents.
