What it is

Passover matzo meal is a type of flour made from unleavened bread, traditionally baked for the Jewish holiday of Passover. It is made from wheat flour and water, baked quickly so it does not rise. The resulting cracker-like bread is then ground into a fine meal.

Why it's used

Manufacturers use matzo meal as a binder and thickener in foods like gefilte fish and matzo balls. It is also used in baked goods, particularly those intended for Passover observance, where leavened products are forbidden.

Health notes

Matzo meal is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA when used as a food ingredient. It is primarily a source of carbohydrates. International bodies like JECFA have evaluated similar flour products, but specific evaluations for matzo meal are not widely published. No significant health concerns are associated with its typical consumption.

Allergen info

Matzo meal is derived from wheat, which is one of the 9 FDA major allergens. It contains gluten.
