Yoshon / Yashan

Explanation:
I'm not sure how well this will be known to non-Kosher eaters, let alone non-Jews, but such products seem to be marked "Yoshon" or "Yashan".

Chadash free/ Yashan

Explanation:
Jewish law forbids the use of grain from the new harvest until the time of the Omer offering (the second day of Pesach/ Passover). Grains such as wheat, barley, oats etc sown after the previous Pesach and harvested in the winter cannot be eaten until the third day of Pesach. There is a difference of opinion whether this only applies in the Land of Israel, or also outside Israel. Therefore some products may have kosher certification while containing such grain (if produced outside Israel). By adding 'chadash free/ yashan' the consumer knows that the stringent opinion is upheld.

Reference information:
The site gives a run-down of Talmudic sources on the subject of Chadash produce. A bit more context would be useful. Also some idea of whether the target for the translated text is a religious or a secular audience, which will determine to what extent the Hebrew actually needs to be translated.
