Strictly speaking, we can only be 100% certain once one of us finds this sticker on a banana and confirms it with 5✓ verification.

The green variation already has 10 confirmations and most collectors agree it does not match the regular chiquita brand specifications, but not all. So it may also be a misprint. In contrast, the red version is clearer - all collectors who examined it agree it is not a regular banana label.

Until a verified on-fruit example is documented, classifying it as a misprint remains the most plausible conclusion.

In addition, our collector friends from CR&EC have strong contacts with printing companies and many labels from these countries are just waste of the printing process.
