Not Kosher for Passover
**Not kosher for Passover.**
Philadelphia cream cheese contains kitniyot-derived ingredients like corn syrup or starch (e.g., modified food starch from corn), which Ashkenazi Jews avoid during Passover. Even plain varieties lack Passover certification (e.g., no "Kosher for Passover" OU-P symbol), as confirmed by ingredient lists on their official site and kosher guides like OU Kosher. Special Passover versions exist but aren't standard.
