Die Gruppe gab an auf Lebensmittelkennzeichnung zu achten und als Orientierungshilfe zu nützen. Man achtet unter anderem auf Kennzeichen wie „AMA Gütesiegel, „BIO Ernte“ oder den Absender „Ja! Natürlich“. Man möchte Kennzeichen gerne vertrauen.

„Ja! Natürlich“ is the Billa store brand of high-quality organic foods.

brand name


Explanation:
It is a strange way to put it, but Ja! Natürlich is definitely a brand name or logo. AMA and BIO Ernte are seals of recommendation on the one hand, and a seal of controlled organic production on the other. I worked a lot with the organic movement and Bio Ernte in Austria.

disagree  swisstell: definitely not a brand name here. Billa is the brand name, if anything.

the send-off


Explanation:
or: the identifier

Billa is the (store) brand name. The message is called a "pay-out" or "send-off" in marketing lingo.
Just like in the case of "WalMart -always low prices", Walmart is the brand name, always low prices is the send-off.
Ref. an old internatinal consumer products marketing guy, me.
