Agriculture and Consumer Services Commissioner Charles Bronson announced Monday that honey that has additives and chemicals in it must be clearly labeled as a blended product. Consumers must be told what else is in the honey.
Bronson says says that in the past, honey has sometimes been cut with water or sugar, or been contaminated with insecticides and antibiotics.
The regulation takes effect Tuesday and prohibits honey labeled as pure cannot contain anything other than the "natural food product resulting from the harvest of nectar by honeybees."
