Kosher for Passover

Kosher for Passover refers to specific dietary guidelines observed by Jews during the holiday of Passover. This period commemorates the Exodus from Egypt and involves refraining from eating leavened foods, called chametz, which includes bread, pasta, and certain grains. Instead, matzah (unleavened bread) is consumed. Foods that are labeled as "Kosher for Passover" must not contain any chametz and should be certified to ensure they meet the stringent kosher standards, avoiding any cross-contamination. This observance aims to reflect the themes of liberation and renewal central to the Passover celebration.
