Question
Should a sealed package of flour and an open package of cornstarch be discarded?
Answer
Hello and joyous holidays
Flour is considered chametz, and therefore it should be discarded or sold.
Cornstarch is not chametz, but if it was not stored properly, chametz might have mixed with it. Therefore, it should not be used during Passover [even for those who eat kitniyot], but there is no obligation to sell it.
