DOLE ANGEL HAIR COLESLAW, that normally bears OK certification, was found at The Grove [One Stop] without the OK symbol on the bags, and has now been removed from the shelves. Absence of the OK symbol is usually due to increased infestation levels in some batches; we are checking into the details of these particular bags. Check every bag for the Kashrus symbol.
From the OK: Dole Fresh Vegetables are certified when bearing the OK kosher symbol on the bag. Lots that are not certified will not bear the symbol – be sure to check the bags you are buying.

December 17, 2019 and October 6, 2021: From the OU in response to the editor's question:
The R.W. Garcia 3 Seed Sweet Potato Crackers are labeled OUD, but in fact, its true status, at the present time, is DE (Dairy Equipment).
What does DE mean? Parve products made with heat on dairy equipment may be eaten after meat, but not with meat.
Some kashrus agencies use a DE symbol, but the OU has chosen not to use a DE designation because it is felt it may be confusing to the kosher consumer. Also, to be a true DE product, the equipment must be properly cleaned of residue after dairy production, and that level of cleanliness is sometimes difficult to maintain and guarantee.
Please note that it is possible that the manufacturer will reformulate this product and add a true dairy ingredient. You will not be able to know this, since the OUD kosher symbol will remain the same. We recommend that you call the OU office every 3 months to reconfirm the DE status of this product.
October 6, 2021 from the Kof-K:
