From “The Concise Book of Mitzvoth”:
Pretty straightforward. Except what of those of us whose spouses refuse the truth? There is no way my wife will go along with no leaven in the house, or even throwing out the leaven already here! So I just try not to eat any- but that isn’t as easy as throwing out the bread either. A LOT of foods you wouldn’t expect have leavening agents in them. Canned products often have yeast or baking soda. Saltine crackers have yeast- who’d a thunkit!?
Any other products you’ve found with leavening that you wouldn’t suspect?
How do some of you cope with this when spouses refuse to go along?
Dan C
It is a negative commandment that hametz (leavened food) is not to be seen in the domain or possession of a member of Jewry, the entire seven days of Passover.
Shemot 13:7 (OJB) Matzot shall be eaten shivat hayamim; and there shall no chametz be seen with thee, neither shall there be se’or seen with thee within all thy borders.
Exodus 13:7 Matzah is to be eaten throughout the seven days; neither hametz nor leavening agents are to be seen with you throughout your territory.
