Brown+sugar'
Not Kosher for Passover
**Not kosher for Passover.** Brown sugar is refined white sugar with molasses added back in for color and flavor. Standard commercial brown sugar (e.g., Domino, C&H) uses molasses not certified for Passover, which may contain kitniyot grains (like cane derivatives processed with non-Passover equipment) or chametz traces from processing. Only brown sugar with specific Passover certification (e.g., "Kosher for Passover" hechsher from OU-P or Star-K) is acceptable; plain "Brown Sugar" lacks this. Evidence: Orthodox Union (OU) guidelines confirm refined sugars need Passover supervision due to equipment cross-contamination risks during Pesach production. Always check labels.
