My understanding is that this is still true for some breads for which
there is a strong tradition to use a particular recipe. Such as buying
baguettes in France. RAF?

The star-K told me the same about traditional teas. Much like beers
that aren't dark here in the US. A brewer may use red wine to color beer
without "losing face" or calling it anything fancy. But most beers do not
require a hechsher. Whiskies, without the issue of sherry casks. Etc...

GCT!
