Where's the Hechsher?

Many people are confused by this. They're shopping  online, they see a product has a hechsher,   they zoom in, it has the OU, and when they get  it ,it does not have the OU. Why can that be? Why   does it no longer have a hechsher? The reason is  there are sometimes that a company makes products   in multiple plants. Some plants have a hechsher,  some do not. The OU monitors that very carefully.   We send mashgichim to the plants. We keep track  of which items are made in which plant. And the   ones who are made in the other plant do not have  a hechsher, and they don't advertise as having a   hechsher. But sometimes the one making the web  page will just pick the picture randomly, and   it has a hechsher. So, word to the wise, when you  receive the product, make sure it has a hechsher.
