No, it's a chumra.

It certainly does, just like every chumra

Where did he write this?

It's not *required* by halacha, of course, but it is founded in the
teshuvos of the important poskim who recommended it, on strictly
halachic grounds.  Ir is as founded in halacha as kitniyos, the ban
on egg matzah, and the various communities' respective insistence on
either eating or not eating machine matzos (*both* these contradictory
practices are founded in halacha).
