It seems to me that the London Beth Din not simply rely on ingredients.
In their Kosher Guide Summer 2009 (available at
<a href="http://www.theus.org.uk/jewish_living/keeping_kosher/publications/" eudora="autourl">
http://www.theus.org.uk/jewish_living/keeping_kosher/publications/</a>
)they write<br><br>
</font><font face="Arial, Helvetica" size=3>Products without
certification, approved for the<br>
Nosh Guide<br><br>
</font><font face="Arial, Helvetica" size=3>Products listed in the
Kashrut Guide which are neither supervised<br>
nor bearing the logo have been investigated by our food<br>
technologists and approved on this basis. The investigations cover<br>
ingredients, any processing aids and shared use of equipment. They<br>
are carried out primarily by correspondence, with occasional<br>
factory visits where necessary.<br><br>
To me it seems that they are doing much more than simply looking at the
ingredients on a package. <br>
