Question to the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs:

To ask the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, what recent assessment she has made of the adequacy of food labelling requirements for honey; and if she will make a statement

The Government is confident that the labelling requirements for honey are adequate. All honey on sale in England must comply with the labelling requirements set out in the Honey (England) Regulations 2015 and the general food information to consumers labelling rules.

Although the Government has no immediate plans to change the rules on honey labelling, we keep all laws under review as part of our commitment to carry out post implementation reviews.  We will consider the need for further labelling measures as part of the next review of the honey regulations which is due by 2025.
