Janary 30, 2019 from the COR Detroit:
TRADER JOE'S PITA CHIPS with the Wisconsin Kosher symbol was mistakenly labeled "Pas Yisroel." This product is Kosher but is not Pas Yisroel.
Janary 30, 2019 from the COR Detroit:
New MILKA OREO CHOCOLATE CANDY BARS in several varieties are manufactured in Europe, and are not certified Kosher and do not bear an OU symbol.
December 3, 2018 from the OU in response to a reader's question with additional information from the COR Detroit on January 30, 2019 that was confirmed by the OU:
At the present time the following Oreo Sandwich Cookies do not contain dairy ingredients, though they are manufactured on dairy equipment:
From the COR Detroit:" [** Note: We have confirmed with the OU that “Oreo Thins Sandwich Cookies” in the above list also includes the following varieties:
The equipment is not necessarily cleaned before the production of these cookies, and there may be a small amount of dairy residue present. Nonetheless, the dairy component would be minimal, and from a Halachic perspective, the dairy residue is nullified (botel bishishim) and of no consequence. The bottom line of all this is that these cookies may be consumed after meat and poultry, but not simultaneously.
Please bear in mind that the manufacturer may choose in the future to reformulate these products and add dairy ingredients. Since these products already bear OUD symbols, formulation changes would not be reflected in the OUD logo. As such, we recommend that consumers check regularly with our office to confirm the status of these items.
