A '''[[w:label|label]]''' is a generic [[brand]]-like mark, e.g. [[union made]] or [[w:vegan|vegan]] or [[w:organic|organic]] or [[w:kosher|kosher]], [[w:halal|halal]] or [[w:Slow Food|Slow Food]] or [[w:Dolphin safe label|dolphin safe]] or [[no old growth]], which is shared by many producers who agree to a common standard of production behaviour and potential [[w:audit|audit]] of this behaviour.

Consumerium will ultimately have such labels or be useful to those who define such labels, or be part of their [[audit process]], since it will contain information sufficient to say whether the product does not meet a standard.  In this way Consumerium is like the [[w:Better Business Bureau|Better Business Bureau]] and has [[social capital]] with the community of consumers just like they do.  It preserves this by making itself not useful to cheaters and frauds who just make up labels or dilute existing ones.
