PASSOVER
PET FOOD EXPLAINED
Dairy foods can pose a problem for Passover use
- Due to the prevalence of enzymes, stabilizers, flavors & vitamins which are made
from Chometz & Kitniyos that are present in most dairy products - So dairy products require a reliable Passover certification for Passover use
- Plain whole, low-fat & skim milk (fresh, not long shelf-life items) may be purchased before Passover without special certification for Passover
- You shouldn't purchase milk during Passover unless reliably certified for Passover
Pet food ingredients can often change from year to year
as Pet Food companies change & adjust their standards
Some commonly listed items found on pet food ingredient panels
that are NOT acceptable for Pesach are
- Wheat (cracked, flour, germ, gluten, ground, grouts, middlings, starch)
- Barley (cracked, flour)
- Oats (flour, grouts, hulled)
- Pasta
- Rye
- Xanthan Gum
- Brewer's dried Yeast.
Some of the more popular pet (dog/cat) foods
that most often contain Chometz are
- Alpo
- Beneful
- Pedigree
- Purina
- Science Diet Dog Food
