KBI, in collaboration with our dedicated volunteer Myra Wein, has created KBI’s inaugural digital Kosher Canuck Cookbook—The Canookbook. This special edition features Passover recipes made with locally sourced ingredients that can be easily found in most Ottawa grocery stores.
Great find at the Loblaws on Ogilvie Road at Blair—a Kosher for Passover section is now available! 🎉
Spread the word and happy shopping!
Want to keep your Passover as Canadian as possible this year? Stay tuned for resources on Canadian-made products and creative ways to use local ingredients for your holiday meals.
Did you know that not all food items require a “kosher for Passover” hechsher?
Some products, if purchased before Pesach, do not require a special Kosher for Passover (KLP) label. Instead, you can purchase the regular kosher versions of products and use them during Passover! Doing this gives you more Canadian-made or Canadian-packaged options.
Here is a list:
Another way to potentially find acceptable foods without a specific KLP designation during pre-Passover shopping is to prefer certified Gluten Free (and oat free) products.
