A labeler includes a frame, a label cassette connected to the frame for dispensing a label strip including a carrier and a plurality of labels adhered thereon, a conveyor for advancing fruit or vegetables along a predetermined path of travel, a label applicator arm pivotally connected to the frame adjacent the label cassette, and a label feeder for advancing the label strip along the label applicator arm to a free end thereof. The label applicator arm pivotally extends outwardly from the label cassette along the predetermined path of travel so that the free end of the label applicator arm contacts the fruit or vegetable. The label applicator arm includes a V-shaped notch in the free end thereof, and a resilient roller adjacent the V-shaped notch for pressing separated labels onto the fruit or vegetables. The V-shaped notch separates the labels from the carrier to be applied to the fruit or vegetables as the carrier passes through the V-shaped notch. The discarded carrier portions are withdrawn by the label feeder. The label applicator arm includes at least one spring for biasing the label applicator arm toward the conveyor, and a damper for damping movement thereof.
