The "Labeling & Consumer Protection Staff" of the "Food Safety and
Inspection Service" of the USDA has PAGES AND PAGES of labelling
requirements. Go to
http://www.fsis.usda.gov/about/labeling_&_consumer_protection/index.asp and
knock yourself out figuring out labelling requirements. The short answer to
your question is NO IT DOES NOT!

And yes, that smell of "honey molasses" wafting out of the hives in my
backyard certainly is intoxicating...I've got chickens passed out just a few
feet away.... ;-)
