Hametz that got mixed into Pesah Food

Hametz that got mixed into Pesah Food Day: Monday Date: March 9, 2015 Parshat: Vayakhel - Pikudei Yalkut Yosef: 447 If on Pesah some hametz got mixed into food it is not batel, even if there is more than a 60:1 ratio of Pesach food. However if the mixture occurred before Pesah, and there was more than a 60:1 ratio of Pesah food to hametz the hametz is batel and the food may be eaten on Pesah. If one only found out about the mixture on Pesah or even if he intentionally mixed in the hametz before Pesah, the hametz is still batel and the food is okay for Pesah. However, if the hametz is the only base ingredient and gives flavor to the food it is proper to be strict and not consume it on Pesah.
