Brown+sugar'
Not Kosher for Passover
**Not kosher for Passover.** Brown sugar is refined white sugar with molasses added back in for color and flavor. The molasses typically renders it chametz (leavened grain product), which is prohibited during Passover. Even "kosher for Passover" certified white sugar exists due to processing risks on shared equipment, but standard brown sugar lacks this certification and is avoided by observant Jews. Always check for a reliable hechsher (kosher symbol) specific to Passover.
