Question
Is it true that one can eat a mixture of chametz that has passed over Passover, and is it permissible from the outset? If so, how is it determined whether it is a mixture of chametz or chametz?
Answer
Shalom Rav,
A mixture of chametz that has passed over Passover after it was mixed is forbidden.
Chametz that passed over Passover and then was mixed is permitted, provided it does not constitute the majority of the mixture and is not a 'maamid' [an ingredient that gives a primary characteristic to the food, like yeast in dough or rennet in milk].
