Concern of Chometz

Many products are not chometz-based but still have a concern of chometz, sometimes because they contain one ingredient that might be chometz or an ingredient that is sometimes derived from chometz. The consensus of many poskim is that these products that only have a potential concern of chometz may be closed off in a spot that is marked “Sold to a goy,” and included in the chometz sale, even for those who are usually particular not to sell actual chometz.

Ingredients with a possible concern of chometz

Here is a list of several common ingredients that might be chometz: starch, dextrose, aspartame, ascorbic acid, glucose, vitamin C, amino acids, sorbitol, and maltodextrin. Sometimes alcohol is also produced from grain.
