Is this label legal?

Just seen this in the coop – it has an image of cut comb on the jar but it's not cut comb honey.

your picture can be of anything - an effing great nuclear sub if you wish - it's the wording that matters.

Do you think that'd appeal?

 

[Dishmop]

Why?
I think people can see whats in the jar, or whats not in there..

99% of pre-packed food labels have pictures that bear no resemblance to the contents!!!!

tiger beer anyone?

Not quiet!
Misleading pictures are equally contra the honey labelling regs!

only if supporting an equally misleading text AFAIK.

at the end of the day natural honey comes from comb NOT a tank on a chinese industrial estate.

i'd be more concerned if they pictured a bumble bee!!!!

 

[sandysman]

But does it contain fish bones or nut?

Just checked the 2005 amendments! It would seem that the pictorial element has been removed?

Not sure - someone locally had a picture label with some plant or another on it, and the local Council office said that unless he could prove that his bees foraged on said plant to a certain percentage he had to change it. I really hope they have removed the clause - although a market for some schiezters...Heather Honey anyone?? Not in words but a picture of a heather moor...

does Pamber Honey have to contain Pambers?

The beef mince I bought has a picture of an Aberdeen Angus on the label. I shall take it back if I can't reconstruct an entire living beast from the contents.

Are you sure there isn't a pony in the background?
