Question
It is customary not to eat matzah thirty days before Passover. Does this custom include matzah labeled 'chametz', as it is unclear whether it is actual chametz or just not kosher for Passover?
Answer
Hello,
Chametz matzah is not included in the custom of prohibition.
However, on the eve of Passover, when the prohibition is by law, one should be cautious not to eat it.
