Passover certification on kosher for passover

OrthodoxRequires hechsher

Year-round certification does not cover Passover. A separate Kosher for Passover mark is required, and Ashkenazi practice also avoids kitniyot.

Shulchan Aruch, Orach Chayim 447; Rema 453:1 (kitniyot for Ashkenazim)

How this shows up in a verdict

When the Orthodox lens is selected and a product’s label touches kosher for passover, the verdict cites this record. Without the required mark, the verdict reads “needs a look”.

Hey Kosher summarizes published positions so shoppers can see the reasoning behind a verdict. It is not a halakhic authority; the cited body has the final word.
