At the moment we use the classification "FAKE" for labels that are never used on bananas. For example photocopies or real fakes (http://banana-label-catalog.org/gallery/fakes).

In the SEARCH tap of this catalog you can find all labels of each kind (filter by "Type of Label"). Any suggestions to use better terms are welcome.
