Question:

What is the "K" symbol printed on food packaging mean?

by | earlier

I just tossed the paper/cardboard outerwrap of a package of yogurt into the recycling bin. On further inspection I noticed it didn't have a recycling symbol, but a "K" instead. Does that mean it can't be recycled. And if not, is it because of the ink coverage?

K stands for kosher the company is saying their product has no known products added that would deem the product not kosher. This doesn't certify the product kosher it just says the product is kosher style and no meat and dairy are mixed together, nor are there any animal by products added.

It means "Kosher," that is, the contents conform to the Jewish dietary laws. On a yogurt package, that would generally mean there were no meat products (even gelatin) used in the yogurt, only dairy.

Hope that helps.

The "K" stands for kosher. It is a special way that food is prepared for Jewish people, I think.

no it just means its kosher. And the food was made in a kosher factory from a kosher animal.

The symbol K indicates to Jewish potential users of the product that the food contained in the package is KOSHER. This means that it can be safely consumed bu observant Jews without fear that there are any forbidden products contained within the food. Often there will be an OU with the U inscribed within the O. This symbol also indicates that the food is appropriate to be consumed by Jewish customers. Often, in order to be inscribed with the hechcture (Symbol) a Rabbi must be present during the processing of the food or must have made an inspection of the facility to assure that appropriate cleanliness and other procedures are being adhered to. The OU symbol signify s the product has been certified by the Orthodox Union. For additional information you are welcome to contact me through this link. I hope this answers your concern.
