# Siman 467 – More on Chometz

הChelek 5

1. A food could look kasher l'Pesach but is actually chometz. Such food should not be sold to a Jew before Pesach lest he comes to eat it on Pesach. You must directly inform the buyer that the merchandise is actually chometz. (ShA  — MB )
2. You may sell such food to a non-Jew only in small quantities that will likely be consumed before Pesach. (ShA  — MB )
3. The last day of Pesach in the Diaspora is a Yom Tov d'rabbonon. Foods that we avoid during Pesach out of mere skeptical concern for chometz are allowed to be eaten on this day. (MB )
4. If you want to drink water on Pesach from a reservoir that has not been guarded from chometz falling in all year round, it is proper to strain the water first through a clean cloth each time you draw the water. However, if you find bread or dough in the reservoir, even straining will not help. Do not drink the water. (MB , )
