What does the letter p in a circle indicate on food packaging?
The letter P in a circle on food means “Parve”, which indicates #1, the food is Kosher, and #2, that it has neither dairy nor meat products in it. This is important information for people who keep kosher as they do not eat meals where dairy ingredients and meat are served at the same time. Parve food or ingredients can be eaten at either a dairy-based or milk-based meal.
