OU Kosher Alert Manischewitz Dark Chocolate Coins

December 1, 2023 from the OU:

Manischewitz Dark Chocolate Coins, Kayco, Bayonne NJ have a mislabeled OU:
A very limited quantity of Manischewitz Chocolate Coins bags, labeled as Dark Chocolate Coins - OU Pareve, contain OU Dairy Cholov Yisroel chocolate coins. Consumers can easily identify if the chocolate coins in a bag are dairy or pareve by looking at the color of the foil covering the chocolate coins. Chocolate coins wrapped in gold colored foil are dairy and chocolate coins wrapped in silver colored foil are pareve. Consumers who purchased Dark Chocolate Coins bags should verify that the chocolate coins in the bag are wrapped in silver colored foil. The mislabeled bags are being withdrawn from the marketplace.
