Baltimore, MD - Mar. 31, 2017 - Quinoa is Kosher L’Pesach and is not related to the five types of chometz grains, millet or rice. However, because there is a possibility that quinoa grows in proximity to chometz grains and may be processed in facilities that compromise its Kosher for Passover status, quinoa should be accepted only with a reliable Kosher for Passover approval

There was a change in production at Ancient Harvest brand Quinoa this year and we have certified only a special run of quinoa.

The following Ancient Harvest quinoa is approved for Passover this year — (The boxes are available at 7 Mile Market Passover section; double check the boxes to be sure.)

If you purchased a box prior to last Passover it remains approved for this Passover as well.
