Consumers who buy food products which are marked “Kosher for Passover” will be assisted by a new law which was signed by Governor Carey in July and which goes into effect on Jan. 1. The new law requires the producers or distributors of packaged food which is labeled as “Kosher for Passover” to register the name, current address, and telephone number of the ###supervision Passover products are prepared and processed. The information will be filed with the New York State Department of Agriculture and Markets and available to the public.
