No Chametz

Any food that rises during the cooking process is also prohibited. If there is a loaf of bread in the house, the occupants must remove all traces of it before Passover.

Coca-Cola must have been aware of this and decided to create a kosher version of the beverage.

Other Restrictions

Apart from chametz, kitniyot is also prohibited during Passover, though not all Jews are required to follow it. If someone does not have “Ashkenazi” (which means Eastern European) roots, they are safe. However, this only accounts for about a quarter of the world’s Jews. This means that many people still refrain from eating kitniyot during Passover. But what is kitniyot, and does it have any significance for Coca-Cola?
