>The Missouri inspector told us that the minute we pull the frame out of the
hive we become a food processor, as it's potentially exposed to
contamination. The regs kick in then, and continue all the way to the sealed
bottle.

Presumably they apply the regulations to imported honey?  I think not.

Same here in the UK with so many things - locals have to jump through hoops,
imports can come in regardless of local hygiene standards.
