Have a roll in the freezer with a plain OU. Does anyone know if this is kosher for pesach. I googled and it shows up on some store site as kosher for passover but no special mark on package.
All pesach ingredients.
Anyone know?

I would guess not since most gefilte fish factories have real chometz in them (I'm surprised it isn't labeled chometz)

OU clear writes the u inside the O, with a p outside the circle, for any passover item. If it doesn't have that, then it's not allowed for pesach and very likely it is chometz mamesh.

Call a kashrus organization. I wouldn't if I could avoid it.

Thank you. It's definitely not chametz mamash. Ordered from frum store with pesach filter on and it's listed on some sites as kosher for passover. Nevertheless will not use.

Is there a rav hamachshir connected to any of these sites you can call?

Exactly, many items I ordered with the pesach filter came with no hechsher for pesach.

So that's why I'm wondering. It's not a random roll from the freezer

You can try emailing them at kosherq@ou.org. Write Urgent Pesach or something in the subject line.

When I ordered pesach items through pesach filter not all items arrived KLP. The shoppers weren't as careful as I am when I shop.

I just checked mine, and it definitely says "Kosher for Pesach" to the left of the name. So I'd guess that its not OK.

In fact, I know that my friend with celiac can only eat the Pesach product.

Sorry.

The Ungar's classic one has to say KLP -- I have the regular one we use weekly in my other freezer with the chametz sold items and it is def chametz. The new ones we bought for Pesach are marked as such.

Just an FYI: a rav whose pre-Pesach shiur I listen to ALWAYS stresses to check every product you put into your wagon.

OP ordered it, didn't actually put it in her wagon 😉
