Okay, maybe they did that and maybe they did something else, but "honey
molasses", as such does not pop up in the searches I did.

I guess my point is that this is a product of the USA, and an ingredient
list is mandated by law, AFAIK, BUT, is there any limit to the words/terms
you can use in that ingredient list?  Can you just make up your own term
like, say, "honey molasses" and be condidered to have met the standards?  I
should have thought that there would be a limited universe of ingredients
that are recognized, proven and known.

Aside from the fact that this product, among many, uses the word honey, but
appears to contain none, how can a consumer have any clue what he/she is
eating?
