M. Chris Michel of MO is looking for regulations on labels:
1. Contact your state department of agriculture, food inspection program,
for copies of state statute and regulations.
2. Contact the National Honey Board. They have literature on honey labels.
3. Use a commercially packed and labeled jar as an example of label
content.
4. Here in WA you can sell honey by volume (qt., gal.) as long as the
container is always filled to the same point above the neck of the jar. It
must be priced and sold as per quart or gallon not by weight. Inspectors
look for uniformity of fill, cleanliness of product, and other label
information.
A quart and gallon of honey can also be sold by weight as long as the weight
is shown on the label and actual net weight meets or exceeds what is printed
on the label.
