>> According to both the European Council's Honey Directive 2001/110/EC and
the present Codex Aliminerius Honey Standard, filtration of honey is
permitted.

To say it all, from the Regulation 2001/110:

"No pollen or other individual ingredient of honey is to be removed, unless
that is inevitable when organic and inorganic foreign materials are removed.
That process may be carried out by filtering. Where such filtering leads to
the removal of a significant quantity of pollen, the consumer must be
correctly informed to that effect by means of an appropriate indication on
the label."

Kind regards,
