Honey Labeling Guidelines, via the National Honey Board
Honey may not be honey in your state. Support the effort for a national honey standard. If it says honey, it better be honey! In the meantime, there is a honey standard in North Carolina now. More information to follow.
Set your honey apart without using the word organic on your honey labels!*
