That's up to you. Personally, I take it off mine before eating.  (this is kinda like the 'Do not Remove!" tag on a mattress---the guy who buys it can take it off w/o getting in trouble, 'eh?) But it's there when sold, the consumer can tell where it came from.

Hey--I take the 'dole' sticker offa bananas too---but that's also up to you.
