Who said anything about blaming the OU?
You.
I think the grievance brought up here about products advertised as non-dairy is totally legitimate.
You’re correct that we don’t pasken like that
V’su lo midi, except perhaps to add that they would probably agree here.
I’m not claiming the OU should stop hechshering in these situations. I think you understood my point.
So what are you saying? I apparently did misunderstand your point.
If Oreos went from dairy equipment to dairy, and thousands of people erred because NOTHING changed about the hechsher, would that still be their fault?
Yes, because every time you ask the OU or they post info about Oreos they say it’s subject to change and keep checking back. The OU’s obligation in that scenario, IMO, would be to make sure to announce the forthcoming change a few months in advance.
