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.

These have been OUD for as long as I can remember. But while looking for the expiration date on this box at Costco, I saw it had a hechsher that I've never seen before. KMD Mexico. No idea if it's good, and I ultimately found an OUD box that had a later expiration date.

Was the KMD version made in Mexico? FWIW, the hechsher is on R' Eidlitz's list at Kosherquest. https://kosherquest.org/kosher-symbols/
