What if the ham flavor was artificial? That would have been my first thought.

this was what I thought too...

I suppose we do have kosher baco bits, but there isn't a lot of kosher, artificial ham out there. It is from Trinidad so I am wondering if it is a case of someone saying "hey if you put a little OU on the label products sell much better on the east coast". It has happened before.

I have a bag of 'chicken soup mix' powder that's totally parve... and I can buy beef flavored too...

'Flavored' to me actually implies simply 'the taste of' and not 'actual pieces' or 'actual essence' of whatever....

Of course there are parve chicken fingers and dairy fake bacon out there, but I don't find that fake ham is popular. If I saw this soup with an OU I would definitely check the ingredients rather than immediately assume it was made with fake ham essence.

That wouldn't surprise me.

Bacon salt and Bacconaise are Kosher. :)
