If what you say is true, then the Yoplait company is a very unethical company that will try to get business by deception. The case is probably this (and it has happened before): Someone decided "Hey, we can sell more yogurt if we take advantage of those who keep Kosher." Putting a K on a label does not imply Kosher, HOWEVER, this is only because the K was not in a circle. The K in the circle (called an OK) is a trademark. Basically, Yoplait can put any letter it wants on the label. They could put an S on the label too, but why should they do that if they can deceive people into buying their product by using a K? You can be totally sure, however, if the K is enclosed in the circle. If they DO put a K in a circle and the product turns out to be trafe, they can be sued for a very substantial amount -- and I would hope that someone would do it. -- Steve Silberberg
