Question
Shalom Rabbi,
Is soup powder seasoning considered chametz for someone who does not want to sell chametz in its tangible form?
I saw that Rabbi Zritzky wrote that although mushroom soup powder contains flour, it is flour that has not come into contact with water. And perhaps the same applies to other types of soup powders.
I am asking about all types of Osem soup powders: chicken, mushroom, and onion.
Thank you very much, and have a kosher and happy Pesach.

Answer
Shalom u-vracha.
There are powders that contain flour, and there are those that contain only starch, in which case they are not chametz.
In any case, we are dealing with a mixture that includes chametz, not chametz in its tangible form. Therefore, even someone who is strict not to sell chametz in its tangible form may be lenient regarding soup powders.
