AN OV SYMBOL (a V inside an O), very similar to the Kashrus symbol of the the Vaad Hoeir of St. Louis, is used by some companies to indicate vegan (vegetarian). One example is Fresh Finds French Fried Onions sold at Big Lots. Usually there is some indication on the label that the symbol is referring to vegan. In case of any doubt, contact the Vaad Hoeir of St. Louis at 314-569-2770.
