(11,411 posts)Orthodox Union is a Jewish organization that certifies products as Kosher. Products that are certified as Orthodox Union can carry the "OU" trademark label. The food company pays for each and every ingredient or finished product to be certified as Kosher If your company labels a product as "OU" and it has not been certified as Kosher by Orthodox Union, this could be a subject of a civil suit, even if the product is Kosher and other products that your company makes are certified as OU. Usually if this is the case, they give you the benefit of the doubt and allow you to register it without penalty, but they do have the right to sue you or take away your certification for other products. If you are selling something like bacon as labeled OU certified, then your company would get sued for sure and lose.
