§ 29418 Honey Labeling Definitions

Key Takeaways

  • •A 'placard' is any sign, label, or tag that describes or identifies honey.
  • •It does not include spoken words—only written or printed labels count.
  • •This rule helps make sure honey is labeled clearly so people know what they're buying.

Example

You see a jar of honey at the store with a label that says 'Pure Wildflower Honey.'

The label on the jar is a 'placard' because it describes the honey inside. If someone just tells you it's wildflower honey without a label, that doesn't count as a placard.
