Your thoughts on Chalav Stam notwithstanding, I think all would agree that Chalav Stam is a problem if you are Fleishigs. So that is more than a little concerning.

They were still matched correctly. Merely the flavor was chalav stam. The list was still accurate. I havent yet seen a mismatched flavor.

That you find it correct in Lakewood where they are probably asked a few times a day to look at their cabinet does not show you much about an area where you would be the first to ask them ever.

I don't know what level of mirsas there is for a random Wawa.

why assume that they aren’t concerned about being caught by company of switching, most operations are getting machine for free by using licensed flavors. No reason to assume that they would davka use wrong flavors.

I know it was just an example, but you probably have less of an issue with Wawa than others, since it's corporate owned and not franchised. They are less likely to cut corners with knockoffs and have more to lose by not having everything uniform.

Does your child's yeshiva/camp have a mashgiach/hashgacha? Is this something your concerned about?

Why are so few camps signing up, it seems to be a no-brainer for anyone who cares?

Ask your children's camp. That's the biggest push they can get!
