The health inspector here just wants all jars, new or reused, run through the dishwasher with dishwasher soap that has bleach in it or if washing by hand a double sink with the last rinse having bleach. The dishwasher detergent I was purchasing had Sodium hypochlorite at that time. With all this talk in Bee-L I thought I would look again and the company must have changed the formula it no longer has Sodium hypochlorite so I need to find a different brand. Reusing jars is a pain because the label needs to be soaked off. Some one at EAS told me I should be using food grade labels because some one may lick the honey off their fingers that had dribbled on to the label, that seems like going a little to far. They said food grade labels hold up with dish washing making reusing jars easier. I have my labels printed and they do not run like a label does if made with a inkjet printer but they do wrinkle when run through the dish washer.
