Halakha

Sephardic Pesah kashrut: the basics

Hametz

Wheat, barley, spelt, rye or oats that came in contact with water and leavened is hametz. On Pesah it is forbidden to eat, own or benefit from, even in the smallest amount.

Kitniyot

Most Sephardic communities eat rice, legumes and corn on Pesah, as Maran rules in the Shulhan Arukh. The custom is to check rice and legumes carefully, often three times, for stray grains of wheat or barley.

Your family custom

Some families, many from Morocco among them, do not eat rice on Pesah, and others avoid certain legumes. Keep the custom of your family, and when you are unsure, ask your rabbi.

Processed foods

Even with kitniyot allowed, processed foods can contain hametz or be made on shared equipment. That is what this list is for.

Shopping

Before you shop

  1. Use this year's list

    Ingredients and factories change every year. A product approved last year may not be approved this year, so always search the current list.

  2. Search the exact product

    A brand can be approved in one flavor or size and not in another. Look for the exact product and read any note under it.

  3. Share it with your family

    Send the page on WhatsApp to whoever does the shopping. A search can be shared too: the address in your browser keeps what you searched for.

  4. When in doubt, ask

    For anything not on the list, for medicines, or for special dietary needs, ask your rabbi before Pesah.

Questions

Passover food list FAQ

What does "Sephardim only" mean on the Passover list?

It marks products that contain kitniyot, such as rice, corn or legumes, or ingredients made from them. They are fine for Sephardim and others whose custom is to eat kitniyot on Pesah.

Do Sephardim eat kitniyot on Passover?

Most Sephardic communities do, following Maran in the Shulhan Arukh. Rice and legumes are checked carefully for stray grains before Pesah. Some families keep their own customs, such as not eating rice, so follow your family's tradition.

What if a product is not on the list?

Buy it only with a reliable Kosher for Passover certification, or ask your rabbi before buying it.

Do medicines need to be kosher for Passover?

Never stop taking a medicine without speaking to your doctor. Many authorities are lenient with pills that are swallowed, and more careful with flavored liquids and chewables. Ask your rabbi about your specific medicines before Pesah.

Where does this list come from?

Each year we publish the Pesah list prepared by Kashrut.org, with their permission, together with guidance on Sephardic custom. You can download the full list just below the search box.

Is last year's list still good?

No. Products change every year, so use only the current list. This page is updated with the new list before every Pesah.
