Are the Starbucks hot chocolate K cups kosher, if it’s kosher in the store are the k cups under the same status?
That is not a good assumption.

Saw on a Kashrus whatsapp group that Osem is dropping בד"ץ עדה החרדית ירושלים in favor of Westheim. Terrible business decision IMHO.

I read a while ago about a campaign by secularists boycott products that use the Eidah because of the giyus protests. Is this related?

1) I believe the Osem announcement was prior to that compaign

2) it's a very small campaign w/o any serious weight at this point, don't they could have such an effect.

Not on any of the lists, even though their rabbi is a CRC alumnus. I would call the CRC and ask them why he's not on their list

You may need @TimT to find it, but I wrote some information about them on DDF including how there were some issues wit a specific establishment under supervision which may have caused them to not be on the lists. I am pretty sure that this establishment is no longer certified. At the time their certificate had a different signature that the rest IIRC. The kashrus knowledge within the Vaad is top notch with one of the members being a long-time senior RFR at the OU. I think he was the kashrus administrator at one point as well. My knowledge of specifics o this vaad are outdated though.
