The purpose of this workshop is to develop a rule to establish a Standard of Identity for Honey that is produced, packed, repacked, distributed and sold in Florida or from Florida. The rule is meant to have the effect on controlling the pervasive, illegal practice of blending or diluting pure honey with low-cost syrups (i.e., sugar, corn, etc.) thereby committing an economic fraud on both the permanent and transient residents of Florida. This rule will have an effect on those establishments permitted by the FDACS in the state of Florida who produce, handle or sell honey.
