“Allowing Milchig (dairy) products that they certify to be labeled NON-DAIRY in big bold letters is a serious offense: “Lifnei Iver Lo Sitain Michshol” (It is forbidden to cause another Jew to sin)!”
No it isnt. It is a sign of ignorance on the part of the consumer. “Non Dairy” is an allergen statement, not a kashrus statement. The consumer is guilty of making assumptions.
“Someone may consume these during a Fleishig (meat) meal!”
So, the OU is at fault because someone assumed wrong?
“The fact that in smaller print they say OU-D or dairy is not a reliable solution.”
Why not? The only kashrus statement made by the OU is the one with their symbol.
