The status of beef and chicken in this regard is the same as that of milk. If the animal was slaughtered before Pesa\u1e25, there is no halakhic problem, even if it had eaten \u1e25ametz<\/strong>. However, since the stomach may contain undigested leavened barley grains, its contents must be thrown out. If a gentile\u2019s animal was fed \u1e25ametz<\/strong> and slaughtered during Pesa\u1e25, some poskim<\/strong> forbid consuming its meat, while others are lenient. One should be stringent and not buy the meat of a Jew\u2019s animal that was fed \u1e25ametz<\/strong> on Pesa\u1e25.<\/p>\n In actuality, most meat is sold in packages, which thus must be labeled kosher for Pesa\u1e25. Even if the animal was slaughtered before Pesa\u1e25, when there is no problem if it was fed \u1e25ametz<\/strong>, supervision is nevertheless required to ensure that no \u1e25ametz<\/strong> crumbs fell into the meat between the slaughtering and the packaging.<\/p>\n The same applies to eggs: as long as the eggs were bought before Pesa\u1e25, they are entirely kosher for Pesa\u1e25; that the hens were fed \u1e25ametz <\/strong>makes no difference because it was not prohibited when eaten. The halakhic status of an egg that comes from a hen that ate \u1e25ametz<\/strong> on Pesa\u1e25 depends who the owner is. If the hen belongs to a gentile, the poskim<\/strong> disagree about the permissibility of the eggs. If the hen belongs to a Jew, even though some poskim<\/strong> are lenient, one must be stringent and refrain from buying such eggs. In practice, there is no supervision on eggs laid during Pesa\u1e25, so it is best to buy eggs laid before Pesa\u1e25.[8]<\/a><\/sup><\/p>\n
