By classifying pollen as a constituent, testing on the whole
product would have to prove that the level of GM material exceeds the EU’s
0.9% tolerance threshold before a GMO label would be required.
Is that 0.9% of the honey or 0.9% of the pollen in the honey? If the
former, then, effectively GM pollen in honey would be allowed as the % of pollen
in honey has, normally, to be well under 1% (this is by eye and not
through any measurement that I've heard of).
