The following kashrus information is from the COR Detroit on December 22, 2015.
KIND BARS: Many varieties of Kind bars that in the past contained milk and were marked OU-D, have now been reformulated without milk and bear a plain OU, and are pareve. As a result, there is currently a mixture of old OU-D and new OU product, even of the same varieties, on store shelves. In addition, the dairy / pareve information on the outer display box often does not correspond to the marking on the individual bars in that box. The OU has informed us that the label on the individual bars reflects their correct status. Each bar should be checked. (It is also recommended to read the ingredient listing on the bar, to check for dairy ingredients.)
