Kitniyos Products

Be alert for products on the shelf this year that bear a Hashgacha for Pesach that include Kitniyos. The O/U and the Star K, among others, have given Hashgacha to many Kitniyos produts. The symbol is O/UP-Kitniyot or Star-S. Ashkenazic Jews and Sephardim, whose minhag it is to NOT eat Kitniyos should be aware of the growing number of Pesach products available that contain Kitniyos and are reserved only for those Sephardic Jews whose minhag it is to eat Kitniyos on Pesach.
