[RBS] URGENT KASHRUT ALERT!!! (Garlic)

[Stewart Karnoff]

The garlic we bought at the Kuppa distribution today are from China in a 4 pack. Can anyone confirm whether those garlics have this chametz problem?

Dried garlic, still available usually packaged 4 in a net, has been
available for the past year across the country, imported from China.
The drying process involves the use of wheat flour, the product is
therefore most definitely CHAMETZ. If you have already obtained these
garlics, please check the label before use. Unless the package is
clearly marked with a recognized hechsher as Kasher L'Pesach, they
should be considered Chametz.

For arising Sha'alot, such as selling it or about food already cooked
and utensils used, ask your Rabbi.
