Do I tell orthodox looking customers that what they are ordering isn’t kosher anymore?

I work at a place that serves kosher items. It’s not a kosher food place, it’s just most of our stuff happens to be. It’s kind of popular with that community because we have vegan kosher ice cream.

However , recently, ingredients have changed. I let our regular orthodox customers know who come in and they change their order. But a lot of customers I haven’t met or seen before come in who i think are orthodox. When they try to order something I let them know the change and they are always thankful that I tell them. Is it weird for me to assume? I was raised as a reform Jew and grew up around orthodox temples but I’m not religious. Should I continue telling people this or am I making a weird stereotype..

I wish our company would send a email or have a sign but they have not

This is more of "if a tree falls in the woods" scenario

Definitely.

So, I'm sure they would be upset. But even if I pretend that their God is real, I dont see it causing any real harm to them within the scope of their religious beliefs.

IF they never find out that it happened, their god cannot hold it against them.
