Judith answered my question with:
<<< The very basic requirement for Passover is "no leavening." This
refers to anything involving yeast: bread, Marmite and Vegemite, beer
(fermented grain), grain whiskey -- in short, NOTHING involving any of
the Five Grains: oat, barley, spelt, rye, or wheat, unless it is
sh'murah (watched, guarded) from the moment of harvest to the moment
of baking, so that one knows for certain that there has been no
moisture introduced to the grain.>>>
So what do the rules say about using baking soda or baking powder? ie:
chemical leavening agents. Those aren't yeast driven.
