My main question is what does this “U” sign  means. According to my knowledge it means universal. So every person in this world can eat or use that thing which has  sign whatever religion he has. Am I right? I.K., Virginia, U.S.A.

The  sign is a registered Kosher symbol of the (Jewish) Orthodox Union (http://www.ou.org) . It stands for Kosher, and not universal. It should also be kept in mind that all Kosher products are not necessarily Halal (please see http://www.eat-halal.com/kosher/). (Web posted 10.07.01 @ 3.57 pm)
