Passover: Shopppers Need to check every item for the appropriate Passover certification
March 20, 2023 from Greater Phoenix Vaad HaKashruth:
When shopping in the Kosher for Passover aisle, it is crucial to verify that each product is in fact Kosher for Passover. One year, a local supermarket displayed a Lipton pareve chicken flavor consomme powder on the Kosher for Passover shelves but upon examination the package did not state that it was actually Kosher for Passover. Another local store had all of its year-round non-Kosher for Passover Matzah boxes on the Passover shelves. Yet another had "heimishe" chametz pretzels in the Passover section!
