how many mistakes can you find

[enrico]

Ok this is your starter for ten!!
This is on sale in my local shop. Not a very good photo as I had to sneak a quick shot with my phone!

It looks like it has an anti-tamper sticker, there may be more info on the lid! All the same "home made" would be OK for jams not so great for honey!

A good quiz.

9 mistakes so far:
Spelling
Can't be sure it's all from Budlia
No weight (metric or otherwise)
No address for producer
No lot no.
No use by date
No indication where produced
No tamper proof seal - well it could be hiding - but I doubt it.
Re- used jar?
The flowers on the lable are not Budlia which they should be if its all from budlia (which I doubt)
I bet I have missed something over to the rest of you.

This thread counts as revision for the Basic?

 

[busybee53]

I should have said 10 mistakes

Sorry back to 9 - agree it does look like an anti tamper on there.

To be fair it doesn't say budllia it is Bowdler which I think is the name of the person supplying, the photo is a bit crap! There is an anti tamper label but nothing else, no info under the pretty top!

I do not believe tamper evidence is actually a legal requirement?

It ain't. At least, last time I checked it wasn't and neither is the lot number if your honey is produced in just one batch.

"Home Made" - that's one clever person!

If it's meant to say Buddleia (named Rev. Adam Buddle), it's unlikely because few bees use the flowers. If it's meant to say Bowdler, then the rest of the label has been seriously Bowdlerised, with all the awkward bits removed.

The only thing that is right is the word Honey.

There are no producer details, no use-by date, no weight or country of origin.

A few years ago I had a question from a potential customer at a stall I was selling on "did you make this honey yourself"

I said no, and pointed out the observation hive just a couple of feet away heaving with bees.

if they have got the label wrong, how do we know they have the water content correct..might have extracted un ripe as well as capped honey

so legal it might not be Honey

Sneak in and take another photo please - it'll make a great teaching aid for my mod 2 group!

 

[enrico]

I'll see what I can do!

 

[busybee53]

Re tamper proof lable and whether it is a legal requirement or not. I think I read somewhere that you don't need one if selling direct but that you do need it if the honey is sold via a third party - like a shop. Can anyone confirm that? Of course I suppose you would not need one if you actually owned the shop yourself.

 

[Easy Beesy]

Tamper evident not legal requirement in either case.

Not a legal requirement but many shops will expect or require one. It protects the shop as much as the customer, avoids the suspicion that someone has been opening jars and dipping fingers in (and some will!)

As MM says, they clearly know or care so little about the regulations you wouldn't touch it with a barge pole. If they ignore labelling, why would they care about hygiene or not be bottling stored syrup?

 

[Swarm]

Understand all the reasons why tamper evident labels are good practice and I use them whether supplying shops or selling direct but as a non legal requirement, it can't be listed as a mistake.
