If what you say is true, then the Yoplait company is a very unethical company
that will try to get business by deception.  The case is probably this (and
it has happened before):  Someone decided "Hey, we can sell more yogurt if
we take advantage of those who keep Kosher."

Putting a K on a label does not imply Kosher, HOWEVER, this is only because
the K was not in a circle.  The K in the circle (called an OK) is a trademark.
Basically, Yoplait can put any letter it wants on the label.  They could put
an S on the label too, but why should they do that if they can deceive people
into buying their product by using a K?

You can be totally sure, however, if the K is enclosed in the circle.  If they
DO put a K in a circle and the product turns out to be trafe, they can be sued
for a very substantial amount -- and I would hope that someone would do it.
