The page referenced above says >that's true. I'd prefer an explicit notation of "pareve". As I've said, that's only "usually" true. But the eceptions are where the classification is obvious: Ice cream with only an OU on it is dairy. Tofutti and anythign similar would say parve explicitly. Similarly Kosher bologna with only an OU on it is meat -- parve meat alternatives and meat-flavored bouillons will say parve explicitly. --Robyn
