What does the kosher food symbol look like?

Kosher symbols are the signs on food packaging or eating establishments that show the food is kosher. A kosher symbol will carry a name of a recognized rabbi or kosher inspection agency. When a kosher customer goes shopping, he/she will look out for those signs to know what to buy. Different places have different kosher symbols, so you often need to check with the locals to know what's reliable. Some well-known symbols include: USA- "OK" an O with a K inside, "OU", "Star K" a star with a K inside, "Chaf K" a backwards C with a K inside, CRC (Chicago) in a triangle, "CHK" a large C with HK inside and a crown on the C, "KAJ" UK- "Kedassia" (London), MK in a circle, "KLBD", Australia- Kosher Australia (K in an Oz map), Melbourne Kosher Canada- MK in a circle, COR in a circle. South Africa- "BD" in a diamond. And, of course, a host of Israeli symbols. You really need to know what's what in Israel, because there are a few unreliable symbols floating about. Please note that a plain "K" is never a genuine kosher symbol.
