Honey labelling and composition

Honey labelling laws are a mandatory requirement when selling honey. Doesn’t apply for honey sold at fund-raising events or given as gifts.

The Food Standards Code states the following must appear on a label

  • Name and/or description of the food – ‘Honey’
  • Identification of the lot number for recall purposes – typically the harvest, extraction or packing date
  • Business name and street address
  • List of ingredients e.g. 100% honey.
  • Nutrition information panel
  • Country of origin – kangaroo logo, bar chart and text (packages with surface area less than 100cm2 may omit the kangaroo and bar chart)
  • Weight
