kosher without supercision according to Rabbi Eidelitz, who is widely respected and reliable https://kosherquest.org/is-it-kosher/food-additives/
he doesn't mention pesach
I saw that but had no idea who he is. what organization is he?

he's an independent operator in Los Angeles. Quite possibly the most trusted name in kashrus on the West Coast
ETA - He doesn't supervise, only reports

 Can I read the ingredients to determine if something is dairy equipment (assuming I know which ingredients are dairy)or the allergen information if it specifies "contains nuts" and then writes "may contain traces of dairy"?
 I asked a kashrus guy and he said you could but then I heard otherwise. I think it was talked about on this thread but cannot find it.

You are mistakenYou are correct.

KSA upped their standards a couple of years ago and are considered to be reliable

Wasn't KSA affiliated with R' Teichman for a while?

what does that have to do with anything? There are products that are kosher in the US with a certification that don't have certification and are kosher in other countries.
