Corn+flakes'
Not Kosher for Passover
**Not kosher for Passover.**
Corn flakes contain corn (a grain), which is chametz (leavened grain product) forbidden during Passover. Even if labeled kosher for year-round use, standard corn flakes aren't certified kosher for Passover, as they require special production to avoid chametz contamination—unlike matzah or Passover-specific cereals made from potato starch or oats. Check for a specific "Kosher for Passover" certification (e.g., OU-P) on the box for any exceptions.
