What Makes This Chocolate Kosher for Passover


The products offered through this fundraiser (on this website) are 
soy lecithin-free, meaning that they do not contain any soy products 
(kitniyot), which are prohibited on Passover for Ashkenazi Jews. 
Rabbi Aaron Alexander, Associate Dean, Ziegler School of Rabbinic 
Studies at the American Jewish University, has approved them as 
Kosher for Passover if acquired before bedikat chametz (the night 
before first seder). They are listed in the Conservative movement's 
Passover guide under the category of items that do not need a special 
Kosher for Passover certification if purchased in advance. They are 
also vegan and gluten-free.


Aside from the fact that the hashgacha is given by Conservative 
clergyman, I do not understand why these items are kosher for 
Passover only if purchased before bedikas Chometz.  Can anyone enlighten me?
