November 8, 2023 from the OU:
The OU rolled out a new feature on https://oukosher.org/product-search/ which now allows users to filter the product search by Dairy Equipment and yoshon.
For example, if you check the Dairy Equipment box and search for Oreo, he will get a complete list of Oreo cookies which are only Dairy equipment, even though the package still says OU-D.
"Because manufacturers can potentially alter their formulas and re-add milk to DE items, certain foods listed as DE on the consumer product search website are marked as 'Subject to change – Please check on DE status every few months.'"
"As for products confirmed as yoshon on OU Kosher’s consumer product site but which appear unmarked, Rabbi Zywica explains that many lack certification symbols because companies prefer not to have extra writing on their products beyond the small OU symbol."
