The Torah commands us to abstain from eating, using and possessing any Chametz for the duration of Passover. All other (Kosher) products are Kosher for Passover.
[The medieval Ashkenazi sages placed a ban on eating legumes and certain other grain-like foods (Kitniyot) on Passover. See What are "Kitniyot"?]
To be certain that a product is Kosher for Passover it must have Rabbinical certification. Otherwise it is possible that it contains chametz ingredients, or traces of chametz if it was processed on the same equipment as chametz products. Fresh fruits and vegetables do not need Kosher for Passover certification (but some have the custom of peeling all fruits and vegetables which are served on Passover).
