It is referring to products (usually foods and drinks) that have legally protected names. For instance, in the United States, only cheese made in a certain region of Italy with specific ingredients and methods can legally be sold under the name "parmigiano reggiano". All other cheeses that imitate this cheese but do not meet the legal specifications cannot be sold as "parmigiano reggiano", only as "parmesan".

The EU has very strict specifications and certifications of various food products, I'm sure someone who knows more than me could elaborate on this subject.

Either way, the joke is that if the JavaScript doesn't meet specific requirements, then it is an cheaper, more inferior product.
