"US EX Fancy Standard" is the USDA grade of the produce. It's the second highest USDA grade, it's not the supermarket telling you that they're fancy. Picture doesn't really show the actual produce so it's hard to say whether or not they're really up to that grade.

US Extra Fancy (it's number 1 in this list, even though there literally is a standard called US No. 1, coming in third in the ranking): https://www.ams.usda.gov/grades-standards/apple-grades-standards
