Question
In a well-known sale to thousands of ultra-Orthodox families, packages of baking powder without Passover certification were mistakenly included. The question is, what is the status of products (cakes/cookies) that have already been made with this powder? Can they be eaten on Passover? (I understand there is no chametz, only kitniyot or a concern of kitniyot. It is certainly nullified in the majority but is probably defined as a maamid. The ingredients listed on the product are identical to the list of ingredients on the same product with Passover certification, but perhaps the same ingredient name could refer to two types). I would appreciate it if the esteemed rabbi could answer this question, which, as mentioned, affects a great many people. Thank you very much.
Answer
Hello
According to the law, the mixture is permitted.
Many are stringent and prohibit all mixtures, even absorptions of kitniyot.
