Looked at the offerings in two local shops today: four sellers represented two quite big, one National but local IYKWIM.
Several label types were shabby but not quite illegible so probably ok but looked awful.
One had writing over a picture so semi-obscured. Bad.
The National but local range had the addie and best before on the tamper-proof seal. Now is that legal as it would likely be detached and thrown away before any problems arose? (Smacks of EID on sheep to me....hollow laugh).
The quite big local producer had jars with lids which didn't fit the jars properly (short on the screw thread), some not even on straight and no tamperproof seals. Looked terrible!
Strangely enough, I was at a local farm shop today, and had a look at their honey offerings:
First one, was their own branded Honey. Nice presentation, until you read the label and see 'Made from a blend of EU and Non-EU honey'. Instantly put me off, and makes me think, its not theirs (they don't have any hives anyway, so why brand as their own????)
Next, was a jar from a large ish local company. Label looks like a 1960's LSD trip. Couldn't make anything out, as text to small, other than weight.
Third was a jar of OSR, With more marbling than an Italian Marble supplier. Label had 'Local Honey' 'Name address' and 'weight'. That was it. On a label that wasn't on straight.
The forth goes had OK ish label, but lot and BBE on separate label at back. Goes out of date in Nov 2011.
None had tamper proof seals, and all were available for £4.30 a jar
For the OP, have a look at this thread:
