§ 29555 Honey Labeling And Quality

Key Takeaways

  • •Emergency rules can't change the rules about lying on honey labels.
  • •Honey must be safe and good for people to eat.
  • •The rules make sure honey is what it says it is on the label.

Example

A store sells honey that says '100% Pure Honey' on the label, but it's actually mixed with corn syrup.

This is against the law because the label is lying about what's inside. Even if there's an emergency, the rules about honest labels and safe honey stay the same.
