# Some poskim are lenient to allow Ashkenazim to eat processed foods with a minority of Kitniyot ingredients which aren't recognizable.<ref>[http://www.hebrewbooks.org/pdfpager.aspx?req=1024&st=&pgnum=55 Rav Yitzchak Elchanan in Bear Yitzchak 11] writes that a mixture of Kitniyot ingredients which was made before Pesach is permitted for Ashkenazim. He explains that this is permitted for both reasons for which Kitnityot were forbidden: 1) Chametz grains sometimes get mixed up in the kitniyot. If you checked them before Pesach there is still a concern since they wouldn't be batel after Pesach starts (chozer vneyor). However, if the mixture is a liquid one then once it is nullified before Pesach it doesn't reawaken. 2) In terms of Kitniyot products being confused with Chametz products, it isn't an issue since a major effort was made to check that the kitniyot didn't have chametz in them. It is similar to the opinion of Rashi Gemara Sukkah 15a regarding the gezerah of roofing a sukkah with beams.</ref> | # Some poskim are lenient to allow Ashkenazim to eat processed foods with a minority of Kitniyot ingredients which aren't recognizable.<ref>[http://www.hebrewbooks.org/pdfpager.aspx?req=1024&st=&pgnum=55 Rav Yitzchak Elchanan in Bear Yitzchak 11] writes that a mixture of Kitniyot ingredients which was made before Pesach is permitted for Ashkenazim.
