Original text
אף מי שאינו נזהר מפת של עכו"ם בעשר' ימי תשובה צריך ליזהר: הגה ויש לכל אדם לחפש ולפשפש במעשיו ולשוב מהם בי' ימי תשובה וספק עבירה צריך יותר תשובה מעבירה ודאי כי יותר מתחרט כשיודע שעשה משאינו יודע ולכן קרבן אשם תלוי הוצרך להיות יותר ביוקר מחטאת: (ד"ע ורבינו יונה ריש ברכות):
Even if one whom is not careful regarding non-Jewish bread [during the year], should be careful (during the ten days.) Rema: And there is to every person to search and inspect in their deeds and return from them in t'shuvah (repentance) during the (Ten) Days of T'shuvah. And a doubtful aveira (sin) needs more repentance from a certain aveira, because one that knows regrets more than one who does not know (which is the case when one is unsure). And therefore the Conditional Asham Offering needs to be more valuable than a Guilt Offering (Rema's own thoughts and Rabbeinu Yonah, beginning of Brachos).
