From the press release/announcement today:
"Each app that receives certification has passed both technical testing—the verification of privacy, security, and operability standards by global testing leader Intertek—and content testing, as completed by relevant, independent clinical experts."

"78% of smartphone users say they will not download a mobile app that they don’t trust."
Now you can't trust the people that tell you which apps you can trust.
Thing is, last year several people reached out to the founders of Happtique, and their "Blue Ribbon Panel" with security concerns, and were dismissed or ignored. And now those concerns are in production.
