Food restrictions that apply past the 10th hour:[1]

It is forbidden for any person to eat non-Chametz bread[2], drink a small amount of wine[3] [or grape juice[4]] or a large amount of any food[5] from the beginning of the tenth hour of Erev Pesach until the nighttime. The tenth hour of the day is three Zmaniyos/fluctuating hours before sunset.[6] It is forbidden to eat the above items past the 10th hour of the day  even if one begins his meal prior to the 10th hour.[7] However, one may eat a small amount of fruits or a small amount of vegetables, whether cooked or raw, or a small amount of meat, fish, cheese and eggs, and a small amount of all other foods.[8]
