Question
There is a store where I am not sure if they performed the sale of chametz. Can I buy candies called 'sour sticks' from there, which contain wheat flour?
Answer
Hello,
It is not permissible to buy candies produced before Passover from there. However, if there is doubt whether they were produced before or after Passover, it is allowed.
Even though the discussion is about 'chametz mixture', there is no permission for a mixture unless the chametz passed through Passover in its form and then mixed with something else. But if during Passover it was already mixed, it is prohibited even after Passover.

But if it can be assumed that it happened after Passover, it is permitted even for consumption
