Answer 3

Kosher

When a food product is considered Kosher, it must be either an animal deemed kosher in the Bible or be a food product that comes from an animal byproduct deemed kosher in the Bible. Additionally, it must be prepared as outlined by the Rabbis in the Talmud. The Union of Orthodox Jewish Congregations of America is one organization that have rabbis trained to certify that a particular food has been prepared according to Jewish dietary laws and can be considered kosher. Their copyrighted symbol, a U inside an O can only be placed by them on labels for products that they have certified as kosher. There are a multitude of such organization around the world that each have their on copyrighted symbols. If you only see a K on the label - which cannot be copyrighted as it is a letter of the alphabet - then the company that manufactured the food says it is kosher, but it has not necessarily been checked by a certified organization to determine it kosher status. Kosher food requires, among other things, the separation of meat and milk and specific procedures for slaughtering and preparing meat.
