It is the crescent moon of Islam and its placement means that the ration is "Halal" or "lawful" to be consumed by the subscriber of this faith.

Amendment: This may be true of British ration packs, but I'm informed that the crescent symbol on American rations indicates preserved goods - NOT that contents are "Halal"!
