Passover Alert: Patrón Tequila

March 26, 2026 from KA Kosher Team, Mexico City:

A small batch of Patrón bottled early this past summer 2025 was mistakenly labeled “כשר לפסח.”

Please be advised: going forward only products with our new symbol are approved. Existing stock is kosher without the symbol; however for Passover, check our official Passover Tequila List or Kosher Certificate.

These are the affected products

PESACH SHOPPING NOTICE

March 24, 2026 from the COR Detroit:

Always check each individual label for Pesach certification. Non-Pesach items often have almost identical looking labels, and are sometimes inadvertently mixed in with Pesach items and placed in the Pesach section. Check also for possible Kitniyos or Matzoh Ashira status.
As advised by Rabbi Asher Eisenberger, at the time of bedikas chometz one person should be designated to go through the pantry, refrigerator, etc. to check that all products purchased for Pesach are in fact Kosher for Pesach and bear any required marking.

Possible Chometz ingredients: Wheat (cracked, flour, germ, gluten, ground, groats, middlings, shorts, starch), barley (cracked, flour), oats (flour, groats, hulled), pasta, rye, and brewer’s dried yeast. Any questionable ingredient should be reviewed by a competent rabbinic authority.
