Provided that it has a hechsher for Pesach.  Without one how do you know 
it doesn't contain a mashehu or beliah of chametz? But an Ashkenazi 
agency can't give it such a hechsher, because that would make it bittul 
lechatchila.  So the only practical upshot is that if it has a Sefardi 
hechsher for Pesach then Ashkenazim can eat it too.
