Not Kosher for Passover
**Not kosher for Passover.**
Philadelphia cream cheese contains kitniyot-derived ingredients like corn syrup or soybean oil (depending on the variety), which Ashkenazi Jews avoid during Passover. Even plain versions aren't certified kosher for Passover (e.g., no "Kosher for Passover" OU-P symbol), as they're produced on shared equipment with chametz grains year-round. Check specific labels or opt for Passover-certified brands like Rugen or Mehadrin.
