My boys (including my husband) love both the Uh-Oh's and the Golden Oreos...
They can also eat the MINI oreos..... along with the "holiday" oreo's that
some out each year.... However, my understanding is that although they do
not contain any dairy ingredients they are labeled OU-d because they are not
on a dedicated line.... however I have used these cookies along with Kellogg
products, General Mills and Duncan Hines for quite a number of years and
neither of my boys has had a reaction and both are anaphylactic to milk
protein...... What I usually do when there is the possiblitiy of a cross
contaminaton on the line... I have my boys try a very tiny amount at home...
before "I approve"

Hope this help.... if so ENJOY!!!

Subject: Nabisco?

 

Does anyone here have any experience with Nabisco products and their kosher

labeling?  I had a friend, whose son is very allergic to milk, tell me

recently that she had discovered Uh-Oh Oreos (white outsides and chocolate

middles) and Golden Oreos (white outsides and white middles) were

dairy-free.  She said that they do not have any dairy ingredients listed and

that she called the company and they told her they were produced in a

separate facility.  Her family has been eating them like crazy.

 

When I went to the store to check for myself I found that the packages do

not list any dairy ingredients, but both kinds of cookies are labeled OU-D.

I called Nabisco to question them and they told me that they always

specifically label any of the major allergens (which includes milk) in their

ingredient statements.  In addition, they will always state any

cross-contamination issues on their ingredient label.  I asked them why

these cookies were labeled OU-D and they told me that only means that the

cookies are kosher and does not mean their is any dairy in them.  I have

always avoided anything labeled OU-D thinking that it at least had

cross-contamination issues.  That is why I don't let my son have Nabisco

graham crackers.  I would love to be able to add some of these products to

his list of OK foods, but I am very hesitant to try them.  Has anyone here

tried them?
