Kashrut Agencies No Longer Automatically Assumed to Be Keeping Halacha

The Shulchan Aruch says that from Rosh Chodesh Av, the shochtim put away their knives, and one should not shecht animals unless it is for the purpose of a mitzva, such as a bris or a pidyon ha'ben, or for a sick person [who must eat meat].
It seems that until now the various kashrut agencies were believed with the implicit understanding that they at least follow Shulchan Aruch,  in addition to all the non-halachic chumrahs they keep. It seems, from the latest chumrah, that people no longer assume the kashrut agencies follow Shulchan Aruch. Now, it seems, the kashrut agency must state so explicitly...

no question about it's freshness!
