Gum'
Not Kosher for Passover
**Not kosher for Passover.**
Gum (chewing gum) typically contains kitniyot grains like corn syrup or rice derivatives, which Ashkenazi Jews avoid during Passover, along with chametz concerns from processing. Even "kosher for Passover" certified gums are rare and must be verified with a hechsher (certification) from a reliable authority like OU-P or Star-K, as standard gum isn't automatically compliant. Consult a rabbi for specific brands.
