>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

Those definitions and standards for honey can be verified by an official
agency with labs. But it is not the job of a buyer for a grocery store to
ensure honey meets those bottom line standards and he has nor the equipment
nor the skills to do that. He needs easy practical criteria to be abble to
distinguish higher quality honeys from blended generic honey, doesn't he ?
And official standards fail to help him in this matter.
