It seems to me that the London Beth Din not simply rely on 
ingredients. In their Kosher Guide Summer 2009 (available at 
http://www.theus.org.uk/jewish_living/keeping_kosher/publications/ )they write

Products without certification, approved for the
Nosh Guide

Products listed in the Kashrut Guide which are neither supervised
nor bearing the logo have been investigated by our food
technologists and approved on this basis. The investigations cover
ingredients, any processing aids and shared use of equipment. They
are carried out primarily by correspondence, with occasional
factory visits where necessary.

To me it seems that they are doing much more than simply looking at 
the ingredients on a package.
