This type of marking is on quite a few items. To be devoutly Kosher

the person has to know that any product was not made on the same

equipment as a dairy line, so that if they used this product, it

should not be drunk with meat products. Unfortunately, there are

quite a few products like that have a " D " or " DE " symbol on them.

But this means that they might have possible cross-contamination

issues like *many* of the products that we buy on this diet. But it

doesn't mean that the product has dairy in it.

I went through the same thing with & Sons Rice Crackers,

because it had a " D " next to the Kosher symbol. However, these

crackers (vegetable variety) are also touted as being " Vegan " , which

by definition cannot contain ANY dairy product or derivative.

So the bottom line is that you should always check to be sure, but

the " D " or " DE " does not necessarily mean it's out.
