Black pepper – kitniyot? | Sheilot

Black pepper – kitniyot?

Question

In the mixture for gefilte fish for Pesach we put black pepper. Afterwards we saw that on the pepper package it says both “Kosher for Pesach – kitniyot” and also “Without kitniyot” (contradictory marking). What is the status of the gefilte fish that we have already prepared, and is it permitted to eat it on Pesach?

Shalom u-vracha 

There is no concern of kitniyot in this case.
