Prohibited Chometz after Pesach

If chometz was owned by a Jewish person on Pesach, knowingly or unknowingly, it falls into the category of “Chometz She’avar Alav HaPesach” – Prohibited Chometz after Pesach – which may not ever be consumed or derived benefit from. This can be a relevant concern when shopping after Pesach.

All COR certified manufacturers, foodservice establishments and retailers who are Jewish sell their chometz before Pesach . Consequently, all products that are manufactured, produced or sold at these facilities may be purchased after Pesach.

COR works hard to identify and subsequently facilitate the sale of chometz of many Jewish-owned wholesalers and distributors that serve as middlemen to supply packaged kosher products to supermarkets and kosher food establishments in the GTA. This task requires much time and effort and COR’s Rabbonim work tirelessly to resolve these concerns to the best of their ability. Once again, COR facilitated the sale of Duty Free Americas (DFA) a large, Jewish-owned, USA based duty-free shop located in many US airports as well as at several Canada/USA border crossings. This year, the Freshco at Bathurst and Rutherford was sold in the best possible way.

Our research did not turn up any other major local supermarkets in the GTA that are owned or franchised by a Jew or Jewish interest. One should be sure to inquire as to whether smaller retail and drug stores are Jewish owned before purchasing chometz

It remains preferable to choose local kosher certified retailers over Amazon and Walmart for chometz after Pesach. This is because local kosher certified retailers allow us the ability to verify that all chometz entering their facility after Pesach had not been Jewish owned on Pesach. This is not the case with Amazon and Walmart.

Those who are travelling to the USA should be aware that the issue of Prohibited Chometz after Pesach is more prevalent in many of the Tri-State Jewish communities. Consumers should seek guidance before purchasing chometz from unverified stores.

It is noteworthy to mention that not all types of chometz owned by a Jewish person on Pesach become prohibited after Pesach. Some exceptions include medications and vitamins, non-chometz items that were cooked in chometz pots and items which contain vinegar whose source is unknown, such as ketchup, pickles, mayonnaise and mustard. In this case, we do not have to assume that the vinegar is derived from chometz

Finally, we would like to extend our sincerest hakoras hatov to our dedicated Rabbanim, Mashgichim and staff for their tireless efforts for the community, in making Pesach 5783 an amazing success!
