First step, in my opinion, is to stop labeling honey produced overseas as
"USDA Grade A" How can the consumer make an informed purchase if...in large
type...foreign honey says
"USDA Grade A" on the front label, and in tiny type...located somewhere on
the back label, or even in little black dots on the glass...almost
unreadable...the country of origin?
