Passover Shopping Alert - Double-check labels

March 11, 2021 from the London Beth Din:

February 17, 2021 from AKC:

Many Pesach brands have similar year-round products which are not kosher for Pesach. These products can get mixed up on the shelves. Some items may also contain kitnyos and are only acceptable for Sefardim.

Passover information on Fish

March 9, 2021 from the Kof-K:

Unfortunately, due to a change in production methods in some companies in Chile involving citric acid (which is Kitniyos), the Kof-K can no longer make a blanket statement regarding fish for use on Pesach that is under their supervision.
Therefore, frozen fish under Kof-K supervision requires Passover certification on the packaging.

Exceptions: The following brands of frozen raw unseasoned Whiting and/or Salmon with regular Kof-K certification, that comes from Chile (not the USA or China), may be used on Pesach without special Passover supervision.

March 2, 2021 - From the OU:

The following OU Certified fish products that do not require OU-P: Pure frozen fish portions, not spiced, seasoned or smoked:
