A long time ago I wrote a short article on this subject, and for most
Jews, honey is already Kosher. But, as in most things that are subject
to interpretation, for some it is not.
Lloyd noted that his friend's label did not certify the honey as Kosher.
This would be the best approach since, depending on the person, it might
be, since honey is Kosher, or might not.
http://www.jewishcooking.org/kosherfood/honey.html
is typical and the information is mirrored in many links to the question.
http://oukosher.org/index.php/articles/single/5361/
has a bit more and includes some additional requirements.
Hence, if "Kosher" is on the label it adds to the problem, since is it
"Kosher" because it has gone through the process or because honey is
Kosher? If you are questioned on this and do not meet the individual's
interpretation of Kosher, you could be in trouble.
Lloyd's friend is wise. Just leave it off. Or give the person a print of
one of the links (after getting permission) along with the way you
process the honey which will show it is Kosher, at least to most.
