RIK advises consumers to wait after Passover before purchasing Chometz items from certain non-Jewish supermarkets (such as Target and Stop & Shop) who are supplied by Jewish owned distributors. This is often a store by store situation and consumers are advised to seek guidance for these purchases in the days following Passover.
