PLEASE NOTE THE FOLLOWING POINTS:
- Many of the products contain kitniyot, some as the primary ingredient.
- Some of the products may contain minor ingredients that are possibly, though unlikely, produced from chametz-based raw materials. All such ingredients are used at a less than 1:60 ratio.
- Liquid versions of these products are preferable to their powdered counterparts.
- Products that contain flavors should only be provided when no unflavored alternative exists.
- Products should be purchased before Passover and be maintained segregated from Kosher for Passover foods.
- A few – not all – of the Ensure, Glucerna, Pediasure and Jevity products contain oat fiber; the OU has determined that the fiber is not Chametz, and the products are permitted to be consumed on Passover.
The product brands listed below are not certified kosher for passover by the OU. Nonetheless the OU has identified these products as halachically acceptable for infants/babies and those who are ill:
