The Jewish group that oversees kosher certification marks on food packaging sued a Maine dairy in federal court, alleging the company has been using the marks on its milk cartons for years without authorization.
The Union of Orthodox Jewish Congregations of America sued Maine's Own Organic Milk Co on Wednesday in Boston, seeking an injunction blocking the further sale of marked products, as well as an accounting of past sales and damages.
The Orthodox Union owns and administers the familiar Kosher certification stamp, which is rendered as a U inside a circle and referred to as the "OU mark."
According to the suit, the group learned in June 2010 that Maine's Own was selling milk with the stamp without authorization and contacted the company asking it to stop.
