Back before the "D", the OU required anything milchig that could be an
issue to be listed, even where gov't did not.

I am assuming that the same is true today, although DE (by definition)
actually requires far fewer things not to be hidden.

However, at this point we traveled into Areivim-land, what does or
doesn't the OU do. Not the halakhos of DE and na"t.

Tir'u baTov!
