Note to self: If the label doesn't come off cleanly, without leaving sticky residue behind, cut it off.
Do this for any plastic bag which has paper labels stuck to it, not only ones that include that text advisory.

See:

"You can help by peeling off any paper labels before taking your bag to the Store Drop-Off location. If the labels don’t peel off easily, you can cut them off with scissors"

"If that label stays on, it turns the mailer into a “mixed material” that’s even harder to recycle. It could gum up the machinery or have to be removed by hand at the recycling plant, which takes time and probably a human. All that costs the recycler money and makes them not want to recycle those mailers anymore."
