Actually, I think there should be a DE, I just don’t think we can kill them on that one.
I think their position on English Muffins doesn’t make sense; I have written about this before. Maybe it’s because they’re zionists.
Or English.
If something is truly DE and someone eats it for dessert of a fleshig meal all is OK. If the formula changes and it is truly a dairy product and one erroneously thinks it is DE is in my opinion a bigger problem than something which is truly DE but has a D and is never eaten until waiting the appropriate time.
This is a response to someone who wrote the OU doesnt use Pareve. I dont know their guidelines, but I am staring at packets of splenda and sweet and low both of which are labeled OU pareve.

That can actually happen if someone decides that something is really just DE without asking.
I am staring at a box of Cheerios which is 100% pareve but has a plain OU. I think it is the company’s choice.
Some prefer to be a good little o-u jew and consult the spreadsheet than assume all is fine because the packaging has a sticker with some aleph beis on it (which more often than not is in some way reliant on the ou and its spreadsheets too).

Thanks DY 🙂
As a mashgiach, I can say just because a product has a recognised hechsher does not mean it is so kosher. I can only talk from local experience at my end. But it all depends on the supervisionary level – onsite mashgiach, or casual kashrut office inspection, and even personal practices. I want to say more but whats the point…
While no one is perfect from calling the major agencies and chassidim as well the major kosher agencies clearly are more on top of their game…. Just make 20-30 calls to the larger agencies you will be convinced
I THINK that the OU whoudl open a mehadrin line..
in Ey you have rabbanut plain and rabbanut mehadrin
there should me OU and OUm
Just make 20-30 calls to the larger agencies you will be convinced
I have contacted the large agencies numerous times. What am I supposed to be convinced of?
MS, when you have an OU plus a heimishe hechsher, that’s essentially what you have – the resources of the larger hechsher, plus the standards of the more stringent one.
I think that anyone who has a problem with OU is more than welcome to open their own vaad hakashrus
