(Courtesy of OU) Orthodox Union (OU) Kosher, the world’s largest kosher certification agency, has confirmed that the supply chain for kosher-for-Passover food has not been disrupted due to the COVID-19 outbreak.

OU Kosher is certifying more than 7,400 products for Passover 2020, which are available both in the United States as well as overseas. Despite the long lines and panic shopping taking place at grocery stores around the country, there is an abundance of kosher food available for the upcoming holiday, according to the organization.

“Kosher-for-Passover food products were produced at the end of the 2019 calendar year and shipped shortly thereafter,” said OU Kosher CEO Rabbi Menachem Genack. “As a result, there will not be any problem accessing kosher-for-Passover products.”

“Additionally, food manufacturers are continuing to produce food during this time and we have been assured by our clients—including Manischewitz, Empire, Kedem and others—that there is plenty available and that there is no issue with food production for Passover,” added Genack.
