Several questions/answers on this site have pointed out that the OU-D hechsher does not always mean that the product is actually dairy. (But that it is, in reality, "OU-DE" [dairy equipment]. See here and here, for example.)
According to this answer, the only real recourse is to call the certifying agency and ask them.
I would like to create a list of products which people have contacted the OU about and been told that they are indeed pareve. Please try to maintain the alphabetical order of the list, and list the approximate date of your obtaining this information.

1) "All" = reputation > 99, but it's close enough.
2) R' Akiva Dovid Weiss reported in a public Facebook post in October 2016: "Just got off phone with OU: Official OU Policy concerning Oreos and whether they are Dairy: ALL regular Oreos (black cookie, white creme), REGARDLESS of thickness (with the exception of the Reduced Fat ones), are DAIRY EQUIPMENT ONLY; not Dairy. ANY colored or other kind of Oreos (including Reduced Fat Oreos) are actually DAIRY."
3) Current list per OU web page in March 2018.
