Kashrus Alert: Heinz Ketchup for Pesach

This kashrut alert has been making the rounds this morning... I am not sure if the ketchup imported into Israel is the British version or an American version that would possibly not be affected by this but the announcement still seems significant enough to warrant posting...



Looks like Osem will be the "go to" ketchup for many this Pesach....

    So frum! What's wrong with regular Heinz ketchup for Pesach? The kitnyos is from corn syrup. Is that really kitnyot? That's a stretch. The vinegar is apple cider.

      The general custom in chu"l is not to give a Pesach hechsher for products with corn syrup. That is the policy of all of the major certifying agencies.

      Since corn syrup is widely used as a cheap sweetener, this excludes many processed products.

      Re corn syrup and heckshers. I know, but it doesn't mean it makes any sense. Especially when corn syrup is sometimes batel b'rov with sugar.

      Anything contained in the ketchup is mei kitniot at worst, and that is completely muttar, especially because it was made before Pesach.
