On food packaging, a circle with a “U” indicates that the food is certified as what?

When you see a circle with the letter “U” on food packaging, it indicates that the food is certified as kosher. This symbol is often used to show consumers that the product has been prepared in accordance with Jewish dietary laws and meets the requirements of kosher food standards. The certification is given by the Orthodox Union (OU), one of the largest kosher certification agencies in the world. Foods bearing the OU symbol have been carefully inspected and approved as suitable for consumption by those who follow kosher dietary guidelines. Look for the “U” in a circle symbol to easily identify kosher-certified products while shopping for your favorite foods.
