NOT Kosher for Pesach - Joyva products
Status ChangeMarch 13, 2026
JOYVA - Pesach Clarification from the Kof K
While Joyva products are certified by Kof K during the year, Joyva chocolate-covered jelly rings and Joyva marshmallow twists that bear a “K for Passover” designation, are not certified by the KOF-K.
Several of the ingredients used in the manufacturing of these products are highly sensitive for Pesach, with potential kitniyos and/or chametz-related concerns. Accordingly, the KOF-K does not endorse, certify, or recommend these products for Pesach use, even for individuals who customarily consume kitniyos on Pesach.
