Bob Harrison wrote that he was in support of more substantive labeling
of honey; suggesting,
"raw honey
unheated in any way =20
not pasteurized
not pressure filtered
only strained
from chemical free hives"

The buying public is apparently demanding more and more detail to
indicate what is in the container they buy, where the contents came from
and how they have been treated.
Admirable!
But, it appears perverse, that we, producers of a pure product feel the
need to indicate this purity. This by showing on the label what has not
been done to the final product.
It should be the aim of the industry to educate and get public
recognition that if the label stated "honey" only - it contained honey
This by itself should indicate that there is nothing else present.
By definition honey is pure!.

"Pure honey" used in a label seems an illogical statement to make.


It should be for the producers of products containing additives and
having undergone manufacturing procedures that are not clear in the name
or appearance of the final product to label with greater clarity.
