>Oh, no!  That means that I can now no longer sell my extracted or creamed
honey as "natural" products!

This is where the EU managed to get itself into a mess. Claiming (correctly)
that extracting honey adds pollen to it.  Of course, honey and pollen are
both natural, but how do you describe the result of combining two or more
natural substances?  If they are never normally found together then the
result must be unnatural?  If they do occur together naturally, but in a
different proportion, what then?

Best wishes
