It's a manji, a symbol of Buddhism. The manji denotes that this product is suitable for religious (Buddhist) vegetarians.

As others have pointed out, the swastika has a very noble meaning before Nazi's appropriation. Many Asian and Eurasian countries continue to use the symbol for its original meaning.

This looks to be Taiwanese from the traditional Chinese. Taiwanese loves to barbecue, and a high percentage of the populace are vegetarians.

Barbecuing vegetables are a thing. Grilled shitake mushrooms are freaking delicious (they taste similar to grilled portabella, but I think more flavorful). Grilled yams, eggplants, vegetarians imitation pork and fish are also a thing.
