Being a Beek since 1981, I learnt that that Canada No 1 means the contents
meet the No 1 grade as defined (and now patented) by the federal government.  If
the source of the honey is not Canadian (in this case) then a statement need
be included somewhere on the labelling (not necessarily on the front page)
where the honey was produced.  The Beek is now technically a packer as is anyone
using honey that their organisation did not themselves produce.
