KfP "beer"

[cellio]

In the "this is just wrong" category: kosher-for-Passover beer (forwarded to me by ralphmelton). Someone else on my friends list (arib, maybe?) spotted something like this (probably this) in a store but couldn't bring himself to investigate, if I recall correctly. I thought at the time that it was a labelling error or a local thing, but I guess not.

I'm not a big beer drinker and don't feel overly constrained by that aspect of Pesach, but I would buy a single bottle out of curiosity were that an option. Not an entire case, though.

Plain tea - untreated, unflavored tea leaves themselves, stuck into a tea ball - are almost definitely inherently kosher (though due to a fear that they might have come into contact something non-kosher, they almost always are hechshered - given kosher certification). The complications arise when the leaves get treated. The process of decaffeination, for instance, can include non-kosher or non-kosher-for-Passover substances; the flavorings added to flavor the teas (and here I'm talking about flavored black tea, not herbals) can also be derived from ingredients that include kitniyot or other things that render them unusable on Passover or unkosher altogether.

Hope that helps.

Ah, thanks. I hadn't considered additives.
