Someone has actually started an online petition to get Trader Joes to keep them parve!

I don't get it.  Are they really Dairy? Or just Dairy equitment? From the packaging it seems to be just dairy equitment but from the following post they seem Dairy.

What happened is the following:

The OK used to rely on the workers that were supervising that no dairy chips or anything dairy fell into or got mixed up with the non-dairy. They were supervising for allergy (allergic to dairy) purposes.

Those people are not on the job anymore, so although it can be parve, OK cannot take responsibility anymore

I spoke to the ok organization. They said that they are trying to pressure tjs, but fyi the same chips are being sold at whole foods and will remain parve. I went tonight and got a bag. It's green, labeled vegan chips, and cost 2.99.

These are OK Kosher too?

If they're the same chips, how are they OK pareve? Either it's a different factory, hence the difference in kosher status, or it's the same factory and these should be OK dairy.

there's no problem with the chips themselves, it's the packing facility.

Ah, I knew it was an issue with the packing, but for some reason I figured they're packed where they're manufactured.

Nope. The ok said the chips will remain parve, but they are worried that dairy chips from the packing facility will drop in. whole foods won't stand for that because they cater to a vegan crowd, so they are still ok parve

The OK is the one that supervised the procedure that separated the two (parve,dairy). According to the OK because that procedure is not in effect anymore they, the OK, DO NOT recommend assuming they are parve!! In truth according to the letter of halacha there would be where to assume it might still be parve, according to the OK it is labeled dairy. Not because of Trader Joes. http://www.vosizneias.com/106732/2012/05/22/new-york-the-great-chocolate-tumult-trader-joes-pareve-chips-switched-to-dairy-ok-rabbi-speaks-out/
