Under COUNCIL DIRECTIVE 2001/110/EC the EU has  made new rules regarding the sale of honey.

 Honey obtained by removing foreign inorganic or organic matter in such a way as to result in the significant removal of pollen.is defined as 'filtered honey'.

As 'filtered honey' there are restrictions placed on the labelling of monofloral honeys.
Quote (b) except in the case of filtered honey and baker's honey, the product names may be supplemented by information referring to:

- floral or vegetable origin, if the product comes wholly or mainly from the indicated source and possesses the organoleptic, physico-chemical and microscopic characteristics of the source,
