@Peter: You are absolutely right to doubt this label to be a banana label. When we do not have any information about a label we should be skeptic. It is not enough to see a label in the collection of someone we like, we need the story behind the label. Unless we do not have a prove we should doubt.

BTW it is for me the same with the SELECT label form the market in Lima. As we all know, they are used in the market for reseller but not necessarily on bananas. I have seen it, most of them are not used on bananas.

It is a little bit like the Corona virus. Many have the labels but no one knows the source exactly.

PEPITO or INDIAN RIVER FARMS or INDAYA, there are many rejected brands. 126 brands or 468 labels in total are rejected later after adding to the catalog. This are 1.5% of the labels in our catalog that are most likely no banana labels. All of the labels are from reliable collectors. Obviously fruit or other labels creep in our collection quite often.

In addition in the list of dubious labels are further 352 labels (some collectors should rework their personal list of doubted labels because we have a prove in the mean time).

I would like to repeat it: We need much more 'verify it' and comments at our labels from all of our collectors. When 20 collectors say they do not have any information about a label (= ✓✓✓) then this is an important statement. When only Peter and me verify the labels, then it is not enough. Please verify labels often!

To come back to the virus: We llike to know who brought this label into our collections of banana labels? Who was the first one who said this is a banana label?

Do you doubt only this oval label or also the round ones? I found the round ones on a trip to the Phillippiines about 12 years ago. E C stands for Eduardo Cojuangco, a billionaire in the Phillippine food industry. The labels are placed on local bananas from the Islands Davao and Negros. I can not tell about the oval label, but the round ones are definitely on bananas and very common there.

@Martin: The round ones are certified often so I believe they are banana labels. It is about the oval ones.
