Vegetable oil

Kosher for Passover
Kosher, but with caveats. Vegetable oil itself is derived from plants, which are inherently kosher. However, for Passover, the concern is with the potential for chametz (leavened products) cross-contamination during processing. Many kosher authorities require that vegetable oils be specifically certified as kosher for Passover to ensure no chametz is present. Common oils like soybean, corn, and canola oil are often certified, while others like cottonseed oil may be less commonly certified. Always check for a reliable Passover certification.
