June 1, 2023 from the OU in response to a question from the editor:
A few Orange Bakery Chocolate filled Croissants bear an OU, but contain milk. The mislabeling was corrected.
May 10, 2023 and May 15, 2023 : These bogus kosher symbols ares ome of the ones offered by companies, many in Asia particularly India that sell "certification" services. (No recognized rabbinical certification is behind these certications.) One should never rely on a symbol, but verify that it is a reliable agency.
Ed. note: If you see others please send to ajms@kashrut.com
