Brown sugar
Not Kosher for Passover
Not kosher.
Brown sugar typically contains molasses, which may be derived from grains that are not kosher for Passover. Additionally, some brown sugars may be processed on equipment that also processes chametz (leavened products), which would render them non-kosher for Passover. To ensure kosher status, one should look for a Passover certification on the product.
