Every hashgacha has +&-.


You can also submit any kashrus questions at
https://www.askcrc.org/ask
https://oukosher.org/ask-kosher-question/
https://www.star-k.org/ask-rabbi choose General Consumer Kashrus Questions in the Subject/Topic Dropdown list
https://www.ok.org/contact/ choose Kosher in the Attention Dropdown list

From now till Pesach thousands of Q’s will be coming in. The attached excerpts and links from Pesach guides of various National Hashgachos can answer 90+%  of the Q’s coming in.
https://www.kashrut.com/Passover/
In addition, the cRc Chicago just put out an amazing app with a Pesach section (and an ability to scan a hechsher!). You can also visit Askcrc.org , check of the Pesach box and search their data base.
The OU app also has a lot of Pesach info at your fingertips.

Word on the Israeli street says:

If one sees the Badatz mehadrin logo and directly next to it (under) one sees the "kosher for Pesach" it is an indication the product is mehadrin non-kitnios kosher.

Alternatively, if one sees the Badatz Mehadrin logo, and ink jet typeset elsewhere on the package, not adjacent to the logo, there is the added wording of "kitnios".

In one case, two products, both a variety of the "Milky" pudding, one with kitnios and one without, both displaying the Badatz Mehadrin logo. Possibly, many/most shoppers will not make the differentiation.

On a connected note, all "Tnuva mehadrin" hashgacha products are kitnios free. An item that is mehadrin year round that is not mehadrin for Pesach will say "regular kosher" to highlight the difference.
Which Badatz?

Last time I was in Aventura mall. I asked them. They said that "no" they are not kosher certified.

No idea. You would know the owners of UA better than me. Are the Clubs owed by UA, or independent entity?
