K ORC Hechsher

Is anyone familiar with the hechesher of a square box with large K in the left of it and the letters ORC reading vertically to the right of it?

I saw it on a bag of lettuce shreds at Sam's Club and don't see it listed in any of the online lists of hechsherim. I will ask my local agency, but want to know if anyone knows anything about it.

IIRC, my rav told me no. It was also on a bag of salad or cole slaw.

Thank you both. I'd guessed that was the case since I didn't find it on any of the lists of hechsherim.

I called CRC about them once and was told that we had to still check the lettuce the regular way. I also saw it on something else, but don't remember what it was.

It's the Orthodox Rabbinical Council of South Florida.

Yes, the one I was asking about seems to be from California based on the product's origin.
