I am translating a press release about a herbal product that carries a new seal of approval. Because it is a new seal, the German text refers to it as "das sogenannte X Siegel"
I don't feel happy using "so-called X seal" in English, because this comes across as a little negative.
Any ideas on how to refer to this new seal in English in a better way?
