Coconut no longer an Allergen

FDA has now removed coconut from the declared allergens requirement. It still needs to be listed in ingredient statements but removed from the allergen declaration. My question is how does this correlate into manufacturing? Can I run a vegan product with coconut milk before a dairy whole milk product? 

Before we would not do this sequence but now? Do we just need a hot water flush after coconut based product before moving on?

Yes, you are correct with your thinking. 

It was never a part of the 9 major (Eggs, Fish, Milk, Peanuts, Shellfish, Soy, Tree Nuts, Wheat, Sesame) allergens.
