The following are ONLY a leavening agent when used WITH baking soda, baking powder or another leavening agent. NOT a leavening agent alone.

Cream of Tartar                                                                                Sodium Phosphate

NOT a leavening agent in itself, but if manipulated used to puff an item up should be considered a leavening agent.

Gray areas (unsure items)

Corn and grain whiskey and related drinks (a leavened corn action usually used); Beer (leavened barley/beer bread) All cheeses -- (Cheese comes from a grain eating animal and the consistency of the milk is changed by a spread of a leavening reaction. The gas expands the cheese slightly but not near as much as with bread. Many folks consider it enough of the same contact change to eliminate cheese for the week); Same with yogurts, sour cream, etc. The contact leavening action is there, plus a billowy puffy texture results.

 

False leaven (safe)

These are food products that are "puffed up" but cannot be used as a contact spreading agent. Mainly, they are just puffed up by air. These include popcorn, beaten eggs, air puffed cereal (puffed rice, wheat). They are "false leaven" and pose no problem Biblically speaking. Malt is a false leaven as well. Malt has an enzyme that changes starch into sugars, rather than changing sugars into carbon dioxide. It does not fall into the gaseous leavening products.

 

FRUIT FERMENTATION IS NOT BIBLICAL LEAVEN with respect to food items during the Feast of Unleavened. Fruit fermentation such as wines, even though types of yeast are active in the process, does not puff up the liquid, and is therefore outside the purview of Yahweh's symbolic meaning of PUFFED UP SIN. Wine has no active fruit/yeast leaven remaining because of its high alcohol content and can't be used as a grain flour leaven. Vinegar made from apples or other fruit is not leaven either.  The wine used during the Passover held by Messiah and the Disciples was fermented.  There was no way to refrigerate grape juice in those days, and the harvesting of the grapes had occurred many months prior to the time of the Passover, therefore the wine being used was old wine that had fermented from the previous harvest.
