- (1) Sections 4-2-103, 4-5-104, and 4-5-502 authorize the department to adopt rules to enforce Title 4, Chapter 5, Utah Wholesome Food Act and establish labeling requirements for food designated as raw honey.
- (2) This rule establishes a standard of identity and labeling requirements for honey that is produced, packed, repacked, distributed, and sold in Utah. Codification of this standard is meant to reduce economic fraud by controlling the pervasive, illegal practices of blending or diluting pure honey with low-cost syrups such as sugar, cane, and corn, and representing highly processed honey as raw honey.
