It is important to note that these agencies frequently try to inform the consumer regarding the full status of the products under their supervision. The following are some of their designations with their meanings:

D = dairy
DE = dairy equipment (no actual dairy in ingredients, hence it can be eaten after a meat meal, but not together with meat)
P = kosher for all year including Passover (note: “P” never designates pareve)
Pareve = non-dairy and non-meat
Chalav Yisrael = kosher supervised milk used in ingredients
Pas Yisrael = Jewish baked goods
Yashan = not from current grain crop
