2026-3-24 Pesach Update PDF

PESACH SHOPPING NOTICE  

Always check each individual label for Pesach certification. Non-Pesach items often  have almost identical looking labels, and are sometimes inadvertently mixed in  with Pesach items and placed in the Pesach section. Check also for possible  Kitniyos or Matzoh Ashira status.  

As advised by Rabbi Asher Eisenberger, at the time of bedikas chometz one person  should be designated to go through the pantry, refrigerator, etc. to check that all  products purchased for Pesach are in fact Kosher for Pesach and bear any required  marking.  

FOLGERS DECAFFEINATED COFFEE is no longer approved for Pesach. Product remaining from last Pesach is  acceptable.  

NESCAFE TASTER’S CHOICE DECAF INSTANT COFFEE with an OU, made in the U.S. and distributed by Nestle USA,  is not acceptable for Pesach. Only the regular unflavored type with caffeine is acceptable for Pesach. A Kosher  Information website and email that states to the contrary is incorrect. 

PRAIRIE’S CHOICE NON GMO BACKYARD CHICKEN LAYER FEED, which is listed in the Star-K Pesach Pet Food  Guide as suitable for chickens, has changed its formulation and now contains chometz as noted on the ingredient  panel. It should not be used on Pesach and should be sold with the chometz.
