I called Hershey's just last week regarding their chocolate syrup. They
said that the syrup in the 1 pound cans is processed on shared equipment and
so their is a risk of cross-contamination. However, the syrup in the
squeeze bottles is processed on dedicated lines and contains no dairy
ingredients. They simply put the OU-D on these bottles to be consistent
with the kosher labeling on the cans. So apparently at least some
manufacturers are putting OU-D on products which do not contain dairy and do
not have a risk of cross-contamination. Just another example of how it is
best to call the manufacturer if there is any question.
