That means that if it was a blackcurrant, the error is on the label,
rather in your recollection. Did it also say black raspberry? If so, it
looks like a technically incorrect botanical name is being used.

Perhaps I should have mentioned it earlier, but Ribes has palmately
lobed leaves, and Rubus palmate (compound) leaves, so you could tell
which genus is was from examination of the foliage.

The photo on the label is of a black raspberry or blackberry, not a
blackcurrant. I shall look at the leaves next time I shop.
