Reply To: OU kashrus is not reliable?

The fact that the heimishe stores sold this treif product with the OU on the outside shows that even food professionals that are in the business of selling only kosher products made this mistake (and passed it on to their kosher-only customers). How much more so the average consumer who walks into ShopRite or Walmart and sees an OU and puts the item in his wagon, brings it home, uses it in his keilim and R”L eats it!
