June 29, 2022 - from KVH Kosher:
It has come to our attention that Deli products in Star Market at Packard’s Corner (1065 Commonwealth Ave, Boston, MA 02215) were accidentally labeled as KVH Pareve.
These products are NOT KOSHER.
If you bought these products, you can return them to the store for a full refund. If you heated them and have questions regarding the Kashrus of your equipment, please contact KVH Kosher or your Rabbi.
June 28, 2022 - The editor of Kashrut.com is posting the following correction to misleading information published online on another website. The information that follows is based on a conversation with the OU.
The Grape Gaterade G Zero product in the Gaterade G Zero 3 flavor pack sold at Costco is kosher, even though it is missing the OU kosher symbol. (The OU told me they will not say officially something is kosher without the symbol)

June 13, 2022 from the OU in response to a question from the editor:
The cereal is labeled OUD, but in fact, its true status, at the present time, is DE (Dairy Equipment).
What does DE mean? A DE product does not contain actual dairy ingredients, but it is manufactured with heat on dairy equipment. DE items may be eaten after meat, but not with meat at the same time.
Many products qualify to be DE but are labeled OUD because OUD is a less confusing symbol for 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 contact our office every few months to reconfirm the DE status of this product.
