This odd little label was found on bananas at a produce market in Hyde Park on Chicago's south side, only a couple blocks from Obama's family home. Each hand of the Mexican Rocio Organic bananas had three labels - the Rocio brand label, this Global GAP label, and a rectangular Certified Fair Labor label. An unusual set!
