>I just bought a KC Masterpiece (Hickory Flavored) BBQ sauce.  It is now marked

No guarantee that it is dairy free. O-U only means that it is Kosher, not
that it is dairy-free. To be certain, it should be marked O-U Pareve.
However, there is some ambiguity in the O-U labeling; it may be pareve and
not marked as such, if it is assumed to be obvious that it is pareve (!?).
Since barbeque sauce is intended for use mostly on meats, it is likely to
be in that category. Still, a call to the manufacturer would verify this.
