Is corn syrup kosher for passover?

Answer 1

In general chewy or gummy candy may have Gelatin, which (unless specified as kosher) is made from ground up pig bone, sometimes cow, making it nonkosher.

Many brands of candy corn contain gelatin. I would say more than half of them do so you should definitely look for a brand that has kosher certification. There are kosher brands of candy corn on the market. f

Answer 2

No, at this time, Skittles are not certified kosher. The ones from the USA were never kosher. The ones from the UK used to be kosher, but they changed the formula about 2008 and stopped being kosher.

In 2010, some Skittle packages were mistakenly labeled OU-D which obviously caused confusion over their status.

Answer 3

Depends on the ingredients, and on how and where the item is manufactured.

If the ingredients are just chocolate, then there seems to be nothing included in the mix that's intrinsically un-kosher. But that's far from enough information to be able to make a decision.

You'd also have to know what other products may have been processed on the same machinery as the candy cigarettes, and what their ingredients were.

That's why it's a lot less trouble to look for products that carry the symbol of an inspecting and certifying agency on the label. They know what they're doing, they're professionals, and they do it full time. Saves you a lot of time, effort, and nagging doubt.

Answer 4

Corn and corn-derived products are considered kitnyot. All kitnyot are prohibited by Ashkenazim on Passover, but permitted by Sephardim and Mizrahim.

Answer 5
