Here's what's new in Pesach kashrut this year from the OU, in a concise little summary.  Here are some highlights that I found interesting:

• The OU is certifying the following quinoa for Pesach - Setton Farms, Pereg, and Goldbaum.
• Pereg is going to have kosher for Passover quinoa flour (OU-P) this year.
• The OU will be certifying certain kitniyot retail items for Sephardim, as it did last year (Manischewitz Kitni line, Ferrero kitniyot Nutella spread, and Osem kitniyot products).
• Kedem will have one non-mevushal grape juice available (clearly marked as such). 
• All Lipton unflavored decaffeinated tea bags are acceptable without special supervision.
• Both Folger’s and Taster’s Choice instant coffee remain acceptable without special Passover certification.
• Folger’s Decaffeinated instant coffee is also acceptable for Passover without special certification.
