Labeling requirements

[Paul Zelenski]

Does anyone have the requirements for honey labeling handy. I am finally going to a farmers market so will need to get proper labels and such.

Thanks

Go go Google-fu!

From the above link:

Your label needs to include:

• Your name or your business name and address, including city, state, and ZIP code. You don’t need a street address as long as it’s available in the local phone directory.
• Net weight of contents (contents only, not the container). For honey that you package uniformly, you need to list the weight in pounds/ounces and in metric measure. For products packaged in random weights, like comb honey, you can list the weight in either pounds/ounces or metric measure.
• Grade, including the word “Ungraded” if that applies
• Color of honey if it is Wisconsin No. 1
• Ingredients if you have added anything

You can label your honey by predominant flavor or main source if people in the business could clearly distinguish the flavor or source. You can’t name more than one flavor or source, or name the honey by season.
