December 12, 2025 from COR Detroit:
"CLANCY’S PRETZELS – MINI TWISTS and STICKS at Aldi, which used to have a plain OK symbol, now bear OK-D due to dairy equipment, and should not be eaten together with meat. The OK advises that the status can change to actual dairy at any time without notice, since the product is already approved as dairy, and the consumer should therefore check with the OK office every few months to reconfirm the DE status. Also check the ingredients listing.
"(Note: The same applies to Kroger and Great Value [Walmart] brands of pretzels that bear OK-D.) "
