The EU Honey Directive states:
No pollen or other individual ingredient of honey is to be removed, unless 
that is inevitable when organic and
inorganic foreign materials are removed. That process may be carried out by 
filtering. Where such filtering
leads to the removal of a significant quantity of pollen, the consumer must 
be correctly informed to that effect
by means of an appropriate indication on the label.
