didn't you sell your chometz?

we dont ever get rid of all of our chametz, but we sell it. there is no problem with chametz as long as you didn't own it.

Your LOR should be able to reassure you.

How about flushing it?

The idea is that you neither consume it nor derive benefit from it.

read the ingredients list. the licorice may not even be chometz at all. Starch is sometimes used as a binder, and while the starch is sometimes flour, it may as often be corn starch. There is no problem owning kitniyot on pesach provided you don't eat it if you are ashkenazi.

in any event, if you sold your chometz, the contract most likely has a clause to the effect that you are selling your chometz wherever it may be found. You list the MAIN places where you have it but not necessarily every single one.
Of course you AYLOR, preferaby the one who handled the sale of your chometz.

thats why we say that thing by biur chametz that any chametz we haven't found is batel and hefker. I think you just have to throw it out, but AYLOR if you want to be sure.

That's why we bittul it, and sell it. We found a cheerio in the house, but at least two dogs walked by it several times and didn't eat it. If a dog wont eat it...
