I believe all kosher DD are open on shabbos.

Camera plus I've heard mashgiach actually pop in randomly on shabbos.

While I'm not commenting on reliability of the aforementioned hechsher, but are you aware that most companies run full production on Shabbos? As far as retail goes,  Kof-K supervises BJ's bakeries open on Shabbos, OK certified Costco bakeries open on Shabbos, OU certifies Jewel bakeries open on Shabbos, KVH supervises Stop & Shop, Shaw's, and Star Market bakeries open on Shabbos. cRc certified Dunkin that's open on Shabbos.

Keep in mind many of those (including DD) a traditional retail for most products. The food usually comes powdered/ frozen from.a factory and just warmed up.

Do Frozen vegetables need a hecsaher? The ones with only one ingredient

If it has a bug issue like broccoli, it definitely does.

incorrect for BJ's and Costco. Even Stop & Shop does a bit more than just bakeoffs.

They can even have a goy go in on shabbos from time to time, it still creates meirsus.

putting aside toila'im, the vegetables are blanched. Some items, like hard squashes, are fully cooked, creating a BA issue

definitely preferred to have a hechsher so CE you obviously are ingesting the flavoring which can potentially be problematic

tartikov announcement was a while back...
I suspect kaj hasn't really been doing much for sales and they believe tartikov will do a better job.
Kaj feels sidelined , sees the writing on the wall and says you can't fire me because I quit.
This is all conjecture on my part...
Note: the announcement didn't say anything happened but rather implied about the future, further reinforcing my hypothesis
