What's the secret? How about the Ritz circle crackers that are ou-d but doesn't have milk in the ingredient or allergy warning?

yes. It's possible others as well but this I've personally verified. Others have verified that this is true for all original. I suspect that all original in NA are produced in the same facility in one size and simply repacked elsewhere but I don't know that for a fact.

IMO, some heimish are better, some are worse.
IMO, you're not missing anything by not eating Oreos. Some of my kids claim they taste like plastic, and wont touch them.

Looking for information about shatnez in Uggs Tazz slippers.
Is there a problem? Does every pair need to be checked?

It seems that there is little consistency on their end, some do some don't and often of the same variety. The recommended practice by many shatnez experts is to treat them as any wool product, they should be checked

Thoughts?
What is that picture supposed to be showing?

As they note in the article, Chsam Sofer Petach tikvah has been considered below sub-par for a few years already.
