Question
Does the rule not to eat Chametz after Pesach that was owned by a Jew on Pesach extend to things, like soda, which are only possibly Chametz? How about food that was owned by a company, that is part owned by Jews and part owned by gentiles?
Answer
Only real Chametz is forbidden after Pesach if it was not sold, and not products that donโ€™t have supervision but have no apparent real Chametz. In regards to a partnership with a non Jew, the Mishna Brurah (448;2) assumes that the portion of the Jew is forbidden and if the partnership has not been dissolved, all the Chametz is forbidden. However there is another opinion (Shaโ€™agat Arye) and the ultimate decision will also depend on what type of partnership (private, incorporated, shareholders, etc.) A decision would have to be made on individual cases.
