For honey standards, I will also suggest to read the Canadian honey
regulations at:http://laws.justice.gc.ca/en/C-0.4/C.R.C.-c.287/24278.html

There is also the enforcing agency that is Canadian Food Inspection Agency
(CFIA) to check beekeepers' operations and honey on the shelf to ensure
meeting the standards.
When I contacted the CFIA for Tony Roma's Honey Molasses label, they got
the product in question and contacted Tony Roma's. At the end of long
trails of e-mails and correspondences, Tony Roma's acknowledged the
mistake. They decided to take immediate corrective actions. They are
placing stickers on current inventory and making new labels for all
products manufactured after May 25. The new label says Honey,
Molasses,........ .

The bottom line is " Establishing standards and enforcing agency are
equally important to maintain high quality"
Thanks for Bee-L members who brought this issue to the discussion group
"Bee-L" and contacted Tony Roma's to complain.
