Environmental health not interested!?!

Arguably Soft Set is the same as regular liquid honey. The only difference is that something is used to stir the soft set honey with the seed batch to homogenised.

If you add two batches of liquid Honey together, common especially if you consider that a super can have honey from different nectar They will by pouring into your settling tank will mix and if you give it a quick stir it will.

So what is the actual difference then softset is secondary production for argument sake?

it has been through a process to change its state.

careful, that's a slippery slop there with 'processing' natural set honey in buckets into crystal clear runny honey . Most of my honey sets in the buckets within a couple of months, but I'm constantly amazed at the quantity of runny honey sold locally as 'untreated, raw, etc.,'...
Spring looks to have turned up at last, so time to move. Nothing to see here

This document has the following definition for primary production with regards the EU regulations which were retained in Scottish law. I imagine it applies to England as well. Honey and other food from bee production. I'm reading soft set as still primary production from that definition.

“Honey and other food from bee production: all the beekeeping activities must be considered as primary production. This includes beekeeping (including if this activity extends to having bee-hives at a distance from the bee-keeper’s premises), the collection of honey, its centrifugation and the wrapping and/or packaging at the beekeeper’s premises. Other operations outside the beekeeper’s premises (e.g. the centrifugation and/or wrapping/packaging of honey) cannot be considered as primary production, including those carried out on behalf of beekeepers by collective establishments (e.g. cooperatives).”
