Quoting from a previous post to this list:
| Subject: kosher markings
| From: Gail Lewis <[log in to unmask]>

| Here's an interesting explanation of the reasons why a product can be
| marked kosher dairy even though it doesn't list any milk ingredients. It
| also mentions that "hydrolized vegetable protein, typically used in soups
| and seasonings" may contain casein. I didn't know that one.
