  1. According to the OK, such products are not dairy. This is what they write on their site:
    A pareve product may say, “May contain traces of milk” on the label because some people are allergic to dairy on such a severe level that they will have a reaction from airborne particles of dairy being present during production. Airborne particles do not pose any kashrus issue, so this is merely an allergen warning.
