Corn products (as well as rice and bean products) are off-limits to Jews of
Ashkenazic extraction during Passover. Sweetened beverages which are Kosher for
Passover have cane or beet sugar in them - no corn syrup.

Charcoal is made from wood (by heating it in an oxygen-deprived environment) -
I can't see any way to make charcoal from animal bones.
