K Symbol
The Web Site "Kosher Quest" (www.kosherquest.org)
says of the "K" symbol: "The manufacturer did not need this line
to have permission to print a K on the label. The K is not a
copyrighted symbol nor even a certification that the product is
kosher..." However, they do say, "The K symbol does not always
represent this sort of laxity. In fact, there are products labeled
with a plain K that are of the highest standard. A prime example
of this at this time is Kraft Products. Although Rabbi Levy, from
the O/K, is actually the certifier of their K, the company often
only allows a plain K to be placed on the label. Unfortunately,
the K represents so many things that it represents nothing."
