Corn flakes'
Not Kosher for Passover
**Not kosher for Passover.** Corn flakes contain corn (a grain), which is kitniyot—prohibited by Ashkenazi Jewish custom during Passover to avoid confusion with chametz (leavened grains like wheat). Even plain varieties aren't certified kosher for Passover, as they may involve non-Passover equipment or additives; only specially marked products (often made from potato starch or matzo meal) qualify. Sephardic traditions may permit kitniyot, but standard Corn Flakes do not meet Passover standards.
