{'food product': [0, 0, 0, 2], 'symbol': [3, 0, 0, 5], 'green circular dot': [0, 0, 0, 2], 'food': [18, 3, 8, 24], 'green square': [0, 0, 0, 2], 'green leaf': [0, 0, 0, 3], 'circle': [0, 0, 2, 1], 'packet': [0, 0, 0, 2], 'square': [0, 0, 0, 1], 'plant': [1, 0, 0, 2], 'mark': [0, 1, 3, 3]}

Option 1: A green plus mark does not indicate that the food is vegetarian. The plus mark is commonly used to represent the addition or presence of something, but it does not specifically indicate vegetarian status.

Option 2: A green square in a circle also does not indicate that the food is vegetarian. This symbol does not have any specific meaning in relation to vegetarianism.

Option 3: A green leaf of a plant is commonly used as a symbol to indicate vegetarian food. However, this is not the correct answer in this case.

Option 4: A green circular dot in a square is the correct symbol to indicate that the food is vegetarian. This symbol is recognized internationally and is widely used to label vegetarian food products.

In conclusion, the correct symbol that indicates that the food is vegetarian is a green circular dot in a square (option 4).
