    The following companies make a variety of fresh fruit products which may be used for Passover when bearing a P (unless otherwise indicated):
    • Del Monte (Star-K P Required)
  • Fruit-Frozen
    • Frozen fruit may be used without hashgachah if it is not sweetened or cooked and does not contain sensitive additives such as acorbic and citric acid which can be chametz or kitnios (or innocuous), Sugar does not pose a Pesach concern, fruit sweetened with sugar (without any other ingredients) is acceptable for Pesach. (cRc 2026)
    • All frozen unsweetened, additive-free (without syrup, citric acid, asorbic acid, or vitamin C), whole, sliced or formed fruit may be used without Passover certification. The above applies to frozen fruits that do not have an issue with insect infestation, such as sliced peaches, melon balls, and cranberries. However, frozen fruit that may be infested (e.g. strawberries) may only be used year-round, including Pesach, when bearing an approved Kashrus symbol. No additional Passover symbol is required. (Star-K 2026)
  • Fruit Juice
    • Realemon, Realime Juices usable with just a OU (OU 2026)

  Grains: The following grains (whole grains only) may be used on Passover. Purchase from manufacturers that do not process chometz grains. Consumers are required to carefully check grains BEFORE PESACH for extraneous matter: (Star-K); (2026)

  • Flax
  • Hemp
  • The above "grains" are kitniot according to the cRc and OU
  • MACA root powder, raw (Passover) Acceptable without Passover Certification (cRc) (2026)

  Hand Sanitizer: Any that do not list alcohol or ethanol may be used. If the only alcohol listed is isopropyl alcohol, it may be used. (Star-K 2026)
  From the cRc: Do alcohol-based hand sanitizers require Pesach certification? Alcohol-based hand sanitizers such as Purell, typically contain at least 62% ethyl alcohol, which may possibly be chametz. However, Rav Schwartz ZT”L checked a sample of hand sanitizer and said that it is as inedible as other liquid soaps and may therefore be used on Pesach regardless of the source of alcohol.
  May I use hand sanitizer on Shabbos and Yom To? Rav Schwartz ZT”L said that using a hand sanitizer such as Purell on Shabbos and Yom Tov is no different than using liquid soap; Iggeros Moshe (OC 1:113) holds that this is not permissible, but many Poskim are of the opinion that it is permitted. Rav Schwartz ZT”L accepts this latter approach. (cRc)

  Milk & Milk Substitutes:

  • Lactaid, non-chewable pills (Passover) Acceptable without Passover Certification (cRc 2026)
  • Lactose free milk (Passover): Acceptable without Passover certification if purchased before Passover. This also applies to the generic brands of lactose-free milk. (cRc 2026)
  • In areas where Kosher for Passover milk is not available, milk should be purchased BEFORE Passover. (Star-K)
  • Nonfat Dried Milk without additives before Pesach: (Kosherquest.org 2025)
    Due to all the concerns noted above, very few companies are willing to go to the lengths required to produce a milk substitute which is certified as kosher for Pesach. This year, there is almond milk and coconut milk available with hashgachah for Pesach, and those are surely a first choice. Another alternative is to search the internet where one can find myriad simple recipes and instructions for producing milk-substitutes at home. Individuals can, thereby, create their own milk substitutes using kosher for Pesach ingredients.
  • Milk Alternatives: The following products contain kitniyos and are acceptable for the infirm who need milk alternatives. They are acceptable only in shelf-stable containers. (OU 2026)

  Seltzer (Passover): Status: Must bear reliable Passover certification. This includes both flavored and unflavored seltzer. There are several ways to collect carbon dioxide used to create seltzer, and one of them is as a byproduct of the production of beer or whisky. Of course, beer and (just about all) whisky is chametz, and there is a difference of Rabbinic opinion whether the chametz status transfers to the carbon dioxide gas. Some are of the opinion that since carbon dioxide is a gas, and it is “scrubbed” of all chametz taste, it is permitted on Pesach even though it comes from a chametz source. The cRc follows the stricter opinion that treats the gas as chametz since it is direct result of the beer or whisky production. (cRc 2026)
