Does anyone have any knowledge regarding the reliability of the Kosher LTD hashgacha out of Livorno? Under a R Yair Didi.

These have been OUD for as long as I can remember. But while looking for the expiration date on this box at Costco, I saw it had a hechsher that I've never seen before. KMD Mexico. No idea if it's good, and I ultimately found an OUD box that had a later expiration date.

Was the KMD version made in Mexico? FWIW, the hechsher is on R' Eidlitz's list at Kosherquest. https://kosherquest.org/kosher-symbols/

Approved by Kosherquest (Rabbi Eidlitz).
I wonder what people who type "u" instead of "you" do with all their free time.
