For those of you out there who are beginning to think about getting your kitchens and pantries ready for Passover, be forewarned that you're going to have fewer Manischewitz products to choose from than you have in past years. The company has been in the process of putting a new oven in their one and only baking facility in Newark, NJ and, unfortunately, there were some engineering delays that made them miss the Passover baking window. The company officials debated whether to stop producing some products altogether for the time being or just make less of them. The decided to temporarily stop production on a few of the less popular matzo products, including Passover Thin Tea Matzo, Yolk Free Egg Matzo, White Grape Matzo, Concord Grape Matzo, Spelt Matzo (unfortunate for observant Jews with wheat allergies) and the beloved cracker-sized Tam Tams.
So, for the Pesach-observant Slashfood readers, you might want to scour the shelves for any boxes of Tam Tams. Because when they're gone, there won't be anymore out there until the end of April.

I'm not Jewish personally, but I've often been invited to sit in at Passover with a few of my friend and it is always an utterly terrific experience. And I often pick up a few boxes of Manischewitz matzo throughout the year (it's delicious), so I hope this doesn't keep to many from getting their hands on the Manischewitz products.

Actually, if I remember correctly, many of those products aren't actually considered Kosher for Passover by Orthodox Jews. There is a note on the side of the box that says most people won't eat it but ask your local Rabbi for clarification.

Tam tams are plentiful in southern new jersey. The supermarkets have too many of them . Tam tams have a shelf life of 2 years and these are newly manufactured ones.
