Honey Labelling

Overview

Various laws cover labelling of foods, and honey is certainly covered. If you sell within your state, you need to ensure you follow your state's requirements.

If you sell across state lines, then the U.S. FDA's and USDA's regulations also apply. If you are going to sell this way, I advise you contact your local FDA and USDA offices to ensure you are in compliance. Being out of compliance can be very costly.
