Matzah'
Kosher for Passover
**Yes, matzah itself is kosher for Passover.** Matzah (unleavened bread) is a core requirement of Passover, made from one of five specific grains (wheat, barley, spelt, rye, or oats) mixed with water and baked within 18 minutes to prevent leavening, per Jewish law (e.g., Exodus 12:15-20 and Shulchan Aruch, Orach Chaim 453-461). Plain matzah certified "kosher for Passover" (often labeled with a hechsher like OU-P) avoids chametz contamination; varieties like egg matzah or those with added ingredients may not qualify for all observances.
