Passover alert - Benefiber & other Passover fiber supplement information

March 30, 2017 from the OU:

n the 2017 edition of the OU Guide for Passover (page 100) Nutrisource Benefiber is listed as approved for those who are ill. The correct name for this product is Nutrisource Fiber. It should be noted that a product called Benefiber, manufactured by Glaxo Smith Kline (GSK) contains wheat dextrin (as listed in the ingredients label) and is chametz and one should not eat or possess this product on Passover. Another product called Benefiber, manufactured by Novartis and sold in Israel, contains guar gum (as listed on the ingredients label) and is chametz-free.

  • Benefibre is acceptable for use on Passover in Canada. Benefibre from the United States has a different formula and is not kosher for Passover.
  • Restoralax is acceptable for use on Passover.

Passover alert - Water with added minerals

March 30, 2017 from the COR Detroit Pesachgram:

Water with added minerals (such as magnesium, potassium, calcium and sodium compounds) is generally acceptable if no flavors or vitamins are listed. However, some brands, e.g., Kirkland Signature brand Purified Drinking Water with minerals added, list calcium citrate, which may be derived from chometz, and are not recommended for Pesach. Water that lists any other type of citrate (sodium citrate, potassium citrate, etc.), or citric acid, is also not recommended for Pesach.
