Not Kosher for Passover
**Not kosher for Passover.**
MiraLAX (polyethylene glycol 3350) is certified kosher year-round by the Orthodox Union (OU), but its standard formulation contains corn-derived maltodextrin, a kitniyot grain forbidden by Ashkenazi custom during Passover. While the manufacturer offers Passover-specific batches without kitniyot (marked OU-P), the regular product sold in stores is not Passover-certified and requires a hechsher for observance. Consult a rabbi or check the specific packaging for confirmation, as formulations can vary.
