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.

Are there kosher requirements for food packaging?
As long as the utensils and machinery is uncontaminated the food is kosher. This only applies to food that was kosher to begin with. The most well known sign is OU, which is an U on a circle. Any food grade packaging companies like http://www.robertsonpackaging.com do not have any food in their production facilities as they are completely sterile so all packaging to start with is kosher, the only way this would change is if the company that filled the packaging used non kosher products in them.

The "OU" on food packaging (the letter U inside a circle) is the kosher symbol of the Union of Orthodox Jewish Congregations of Amertica (Orthodox Union), one of the first nationwide kosher certification efforts in the USA. It is still one of the most popular and widely accepted kosher symbols in the United States. Many Orthodox Jews who only eat kosher food will only buy products with this symbol. The "OU" by itself indicates that the product in the package is kosher. Additional marks to the side of the 'OU' will indicate other details as required, including 'Dairy', 'Meat', 'Fish', 'Pareve' and 'Passover'.
