During Passover the use of certain food products  is  restricted,
although  these  same  products  may  be  permissible  during the
remainder of the year.  Due to one of customs that  developed  in
certain  communities centuries ago  corn is not used, despite the
fact that it is not technically prohibited by biblical tradition.

Hence,  there  are  many families who will not buy a product that
contains corn  syrup  or   similar  ingredients  for  consumption
during the Passover holiday.
