Tabasco'
Not Kosher for Passover
**Not kosher for Passover.** Original Tabasco sauce (made from tabasco peppers, vinegar, and salt) contains distilled vinegar typically derived from corn—a kitniyot grain forbidden by Ashkenazi custom during Passover. It lacks Passover certification (e.g., no OU-P or OK-P hechsher), and McIlhenny Company does not produce a Passover-specific version. Sephardim might permit it if corn-free, but standard observance deems it non-kosher for Pesach. Check labels for any certified variants.
