The Terrors and Pleasures of Kashrut Certification

Check it. http://www.kashrut.com/Alerts/ has an ongoing list, culled from rabbis around the world, about incorrectly labeled products. Some are milk, though labeled parve. Some are non-kosher, though labeled kosher (hekshered).

A sample:

Due to recent changes, only several Maalox products remain OU certified. Check packaging before purchasing.

Williams-Sonoma Chipotle Almonds and Williams-Sonoma Sweet Spiced Pecans, Williams-Sonoma, Inc. San Francisco, CA contain dairy ingredients as listed on the ingredient panel but the dairy designation has been inadvertently omitted. Future packaging will be revised.

And you thought your life was complicated. Bet you never considered that Maalox could be non-kosher.
