Hi All. I have been following this thread with considerable interest. I have long thought that some sort of labeling standards needed to be applied to honey. However I don't want those standards enforces by big brother. as someone has already pointed out, production cost would increase considerably. There is another boogieman just waiting for honey to become to expensive for most buyers. It's call "Honey Product" and can be sold under any trade name. I have tasted some and it is very close to the taste of pure honey. It contains some honey, other sweeteners, artificial flavor artificial color. As far as I know, this product is legal so long as it is not labeled as pure honey. At present you can go to the grocery and buy cheese product, fruit juice that is not 100% juice and many other imitation products. At present, consumers are still buying pure honey even given the recent price increases. I don't know where the answer lies, but I think there need to be some improvement. However I would rather see these changes brought about by the industry rather than the government. Frank & Phronsie Humphrey [log in to unmask]
