Passover or “Pesach” is a special holiday held annually by the Jews. It is a celebration of freedom because it commemorates the time when the Hebrew slaves were given freedom from their bondage in Egypt. On the first night, the Passover story is retold (Seder) and the observance concludes with a dinner. Only kosher for passover food is allowed during the celebration. Kosher for Passover kosher certification has much stricter guidelines than the regular kosher and needs full time supervision for the certification.
Kosher for Passover products assures the consumer that the food has no grain derivative. Matzah (unleavened bread) is eaten during the festivity and all food products like oats, spelt, wheat barley and rye are to be avoided if they have leavening – “chametz”. The flour of these grains are only permitted to eat if used for the baking of matzah. Under full rabbinic supervision, the flour is mixed with water and it is baked in less than eighteen minutes Food containing legumes, corn, rice, millet (and their derivatives) are also observed prohibited by some Jews during the week long celebration – “kitniot”.
The equipments used for Kosher for Passover food products have to be sanitized in accordance to kosher for Passover laws. All food items and household products that are usually considered kosher year round must meet the proper passover requirements to be considered kosher for Passover.
