Product Alerts LAMERS DAIRY CHOLOV YISROEL MILK and CHOCOLATE MILK for Pesach can be identified by the letters KLP after the Sell By date. Lamers does not have special Pesach labels, and uses regular year-round labels that list vitamins in the ingredients, and corn starch in the chocolate milk, but these ingredients are not used for Pesach. MA COHEN'S CREAMED FILLET OF HERRING - OU-D with Pesach marking is Cholov Yisroel, even though the label does not state so. However, the year round version of this product without Pesach marking is not Cholov Yisroel. PRE-WASHED PACKAGED ICEBERG LETTUCE SALAD and COLESLAW require Pesach approval due to the citric or lactic acid that may be used in the washing process. All Star-K and OK certified brands, including Fresh Express, Dole, Kroger, Little Salad Bar [Aldi] and Marketplace [Walmart] require a P next to the Kosher symbol. JOYVA PRODUCTS are Kof-K certified for year-round use, but not for Pesach, because they contain corn starch and corn syrup. They are therefore not recommended for Pesach, even when bearing the Passover marking of a different certification. SCHMERLING'S SUGARLESS AND NO SUGAR ADDED CHOCOLATES are not Kosher for Pesach, and state so on their labels. NATURAL & KOSHER brand cheeses are not all Kosher for Pesach. Check each package for Pesach certification. HAOLAM CHEESES: A number of Haolam cheeses are not Kosher for Pesach, and state so clearly on their packaging. Check each product carefully for Pesach certification. MANISCHEWITZ WINES are made in both year round and Pesach versions. The year round version bears a plain OU and states “Not for Passover use”. The Pesach version bears OU-P. Stores often have a mixture of the two versions on the shelf, even of the same variety. Check each bottle carefully. HASHAHAR HA’OLE SPECIAL COCOA SPREAD, product of Israel, is available in several versions - some pareve, some dairy (not Cholov Yisroel), and some Kosher for Pesach. Only the pareve type that bears an OU-P is certified for Pesach. Check each label carefully. ELI'S CHEESECAKE products that are manufactured during Pesach are not acceptable, and will not bear the cRc symbol on their packaging. Consumers should check for the cRc when purchasing after Pesach. “PLAY-DOH” and MODELING DOUGH contain chometz. FINGER PAINTS may contain chometz. CRAYOLA GLITTER DOTS and CRAYOLA EASY PEEL CRAYON PENCILS contain wheat flour. All should be sold and put away with the chometz. DISPOSABLE MEDICAL EXAM GLOVES: Some brands contain oatmeal, and state so on the label. This includes even some that state “Powder Free”; e.g., Powder Free Nitrile Examination Gloves with Colloidal Oatmeal. These should be sold and put away with the chometz. POWDERED DISPOSABLE GLOVES (e.g., latex and vinyl types) are usually powdered with corn starch, and should not be used in the kitchen or near food on Pesach. 26
