Corn+flakes'
Not Kosher for Passover
**Not kosher for Passover.** Corn flakes contain corn (a grain), which is kitniyot—prohibited by Ashkenazi Jewish custom during Passover to avoid confusion with chametz (leavened grains like wheat). Even if processed to remove chametz risk, the corn itself makes standard Corn Flakes (e.g., Kellogg's) non-kosher for Passover without specific certification. Sephardic traditions may allow kitniyot, but the question implies the common Ashkenazi standard. Passover-specific versions exist but are rare and certified separately.
