Some time ago Gavin Ramsey gave links to a product called Honey Aroma which clearly breached EU regulations. I followed this up with Trading Standards and today received the reply below.
Clearly, action can and will be taken (at least in the EU) against these misleading products by Trading Standards and it is well worth our time to report them.
Beekeepers must fight to keep the image of honey clean.

Good Morning,
Final update for you on the Honey Aroma:
The 'Virility health' owner has just phoned to say that he will stop all imports of this item immediately and remove the item from his website (which may be as soon as today) and he will destroy all the remaining stock, of which there was only a little. Apparently the item did not sell well anyway!
So that was a good result. Well spotted!
