USP stands for United States Pharmacopeia, which is a company that catalogs the use and side effects of most prescription and over the counter drugs. They publish a book, which is basically the dictionary of pharmaceuticals; your Local Pharmacy probably sells it.
Vitamins and other supplements with a USP label have been put through testing by the United States Pharmacopeia, and have met their minimal standards. It doesn't mean other supplements are not as good (they all need to pass the FDA) but it is another standard that they have succeeded in meeting.
USP is, basically, simply a grade of purity. It means the compounds with that label meet specific criteria regarding "contaminants". It doesn't mean it's either safe or effective for any particular use, just that it's (relatively) pure. For example, you can purchase USP grade hydrochloric acid, but it would be a bad idea to drink it. On the other hand, an ingredient extracted from a plant might not be USP grade because it contains substances other than the primary ingredient, but that doesn't mean those other substances are harmful.

Check The Seal On A Bottle Of Vitamins?
If you buy vitamins, you need to make sure that you check the seal before you take any of the pills that are in the bottle. This seal is put there for your protection. It shows that no one has tampered with the bottle and that they have not put something else inside of it. It also shows that the vitamins are fresh and good. If you get a bottle that has a broken seal, do not take any of the pills. Instead, return it to the company so that they can dispose of it and send you another one.
