6: Quinoa Quinoa was determined to be Kosher L’Pesach. It is not

related to the five types of grain that can become chometz, nor to millet or rice. There is a possibility that Quinoa grows in proximity to certain grains and may be processed in facilities that compromise its kosher for Passover status. Therefore, Quinoa should only be accepted with reliable Kosher for

Passover supervision.From this year’s Star-K consumer products list :The following products are approved for Passover use when

bearing the STAR-K symbol:Natural EarthThe Butcherie carries Quinoa that is kosher for Passover use.

ADDITIONAL PET FOOD INFORMATIONMixes sold in stores often contain chametz. It is advisable for

pet owners to slowly wean their pets off their regular chametz pet food diet. This is accomplished by mixing regular and Pesach food between one and two weeks prior to Pesach before switching completely to Pesach food. The ratio of regular and Pesach food should be changed slowly to get the animal used to the new diet. Check with your veterinarian before changing diet.

10: How to check Romaine lettuce for insectsRomaine lettuce is commonly used as maror at the Seder.

This lettuce type is known as an open leaf variety. This means that as they sprout from the ground, the leaves begin to open up like a flower. Toward the end of their growth, the leaves begin to close around the stalk. Since romaine lettuce grows in an open fashion, it is much more prone to insect infestation throughout the head than other varieties of lettuce that primarily grow as a closed ball.

The insects most commonly found in open leaf lettuce are small black or green aphids and thrips. The leaves of the vegetable often camouflage these insects. The open structure of these vegetables allows insects to penetrate the entire head. Often, insects may be found between the innermost layers of leaves of an infested head. Therefore, each leaf must be washed and checked individually. The use of a light box for checking lettuce can be extremely convenient and helpful. However, even if a light box is not used, it is crucial to examine both sides of each leaf against a good source of light.

Method 1 - OU (Hand Checking)oukosher.org/passover/articles/ou-certify-cheese-flavors-lettuce/1. Cut off the lettuce base and separate the leaves from one

another.2. Soak leaves in a solution of cold water and soap. The proper

amount of soap has been added when some bubbles are observed in the water.

3. Agitate lettuce leaves in the soapy solution.4. Spread each leaf, taking care to expose all its curls and

crevices. Use a heavy stream of water, or a sink hose, or a vegetable brush to remove all foreign matter and soap from both sides of each leaf.

5. Leaves should be checked over a light box or against strong overhead lighting to verify that the washing procedure

has been effective. Pay careful attention to the folds and crevices in the leaf where insects have been known to hold tightly through several washings.

6. Occasionally, worms may be found in burrows within the body of the leaf. Look for a narrow translucent burrow speckled with black dots breaking up the deep green color of the leaf. These burrows will often trap the worm within the leaf. To rid the leaf of these worms, carefully slit the bumpy part within the burrow with a sharp knife and remove the worm. Important note: many of these varieties feature curly leaves with many folds in which the insects tend to hide; they should be washed and checked with extreme caution.

Method 2 - Star-K (Thrip Cloth)star-k.org/articles/articles/insect-checking/1851/thrip-cloth-method/ (link includes video demonstration)1. Wash produce well. (Note: Use warm water for broccoli

and cauliflower.)2. Prepare a basin with water and a non-bleach and non-

toxic dishwasher detergent solution. The water should feel slippery.

3. Agitate the produce in the solution for 15 seconds. (Note: For broccoli and cauliflower, soak for 30 seconds BEFORE agitating.)

4. Remove the produce from the basin and shake off excess water over the basin.

5. Pour water through the thrip cloth.6. Check the thrip cloth over a light box for any insects.7. If you find insects, repeat steps 1-6 up to three times.

If you still find insects on the third time, do not use the produce. To purchase a thrip cloth, contact Rabbi Zvi Solomon of the KVH at 617-999-2882, or the rabbi.

The OU has researched the following nutritional supplements and infant formulas and determined that they are respec-tively suitable for someone who is infirm (choleh she’ain bo sakanah) and for infants, when bearing the OU logo.

Most of these products contain kitnios, and for some that is the primary ingredient. With the exception of the flavors used, any item which might be chametz-based is used in such small proportions that it is batel b’shishim (nullified). Where possible, it is preferred to (a) use a substitute which is certified for Pesach, and (b) use a liquid supplement instead of a powdered one.

The cRc’s general guidelines on medicines, cosmetics and toiletries can be found on page 3 of this guide. The following is a summary of the medicine portion of those guidelines:

All pill medication – with or without chametz – that one swallows is permitted. [Candy-coated pills are an exception to this rule, but they are quite uncommon.]

Rav Schwartz, shlit”a has ruled that, as a rule, vitamins do not qualify as medications and are instead treat-ed as food supplements, which require hashgachahfor Passover. If a doctor prescribes a specific vitamin which does not have Passover supervision, please re-view your specific situation with your doctor and Rabbi.

The cRc investigates the kosher status of medicinal items for Pesach and year-round (See our website at http://bit.ly/OTCList, by searching at www.ASKcRc.org, or our app.) If you have a question about something not listed there, feel free to take a picture of all sides of the package, making sure to also include the active and inactive ingredients, and send it to [email protected], so someone can help you.

In addition of proving a wealth of kashrus information on our websites and apps, the cRc is happy to answer questions submitted by members of the community. Often, these questions require time and effort to research and make sure we are providing accurate and up-to-date information; serving the public is our mission and we are happy to make that effort. Occasionally, someone eager for an answer will direct the same question to several members of our kashrus team, not realizing that all of them may wind up spending time researching the very same question, which reduces the number of questions from the public that we field during that time. Therefore, we ask that questions be submitted only to one member of our kashrus team. Thank you for being considerate with our time and resources and helping us to better serve the community.
