In jurisdictions where rules are clear about adulteration, then a case
could be made that Dhampur is conspiring with its customers to break the
law. In that event, Dhampur could be charged with conspiracy. A "sting"
would be easy to set up. If Andy (or anyone else) gets his sample
together with literature which suggests mixing it with honey, a trip to
the AG might be in order.
(No claim to legal expertise intended.)
