Honey derived products labelling

[SteveJ]

I'm thinking about making some honey and Dijon mustard. I'm planning on selling it. What would be the labeling rules? Apart from the normal honey rules would I need to list all the ingredients?

Just the usual:

Warning - May Contain Nuts​

Yes. Food labeling regulations 1996 are the basic legislation. A useful reference is the jars already on supermarket shelves. Several government guides online, but tend to concentrate on best practice and recent updates like allergens and the nutrition information you will need in 2016.

Making foods also takes you closer to the other side of the regulations about food preparation. That's food handling training and maybe registration of premises.

better selling commercial mustard, a jar of honey and a spoon.

The Honey Regs do not apply.

The Regulations apply to “specified honey products”, i.e., a food covered by the reserved descriptions in Schedule 1, and which contains no added ingredients.

ie honey with no additions whatsoever - from the Honey Regs Guidance Notes multimedia.food.gov.uk/multimedia/pdfs/honeyguidance.pdf

Which means that you are into standard food labelling requirements … and "the normal honey rules" are not what you need to go by.
