"Can anyone explain why chocolate with lecithin is a problem during Pesach?<br>
<br>
Even if lecithin is Kitniyos, it is not a majority of the chocolate, it is<br>
not visible to the naked eye and it is not added for the express purpose of<br>
making a KLP product?<br>
<br>
Same goes for drinks that use corn syrup or other Kitniyos derived<br>
products, as sweeteners."<br><br>I presume it's there as a stabilizer and it wouldn't be a chocolate bar without it. But I'm not sure that as kitnyot is batel b'rov if it applies to an "essential" ingredient.<br>
I suppose the same argument for corn syrup (to those that won't use corn syrup, which is odd anyway) in sodas.<br>What I really don't understand is those that won't have corn syrup, when there is sugar as well. Jam's/preserves are a good example of that.<br>
Why use common sense when you can unnecessarily strict?<br clear="all"><br>-- <br>Martin Brody<br><br>
