If you want real honey, the best way is to buy it directly from beekeepers. As an European who watched the honey scam issue on TV some time ago, it's the only thing you can do until that scam is removed.
It may be more expensive, but you'll buy real honey.
Depends on where you live, my understanding is that the USA is pretty notorious for being quite lax on food related regulation (where this honey appears to be from)
Honey fraud is actually a big problem in the honey world, with a lot of honeys being adulterated or just outright fake. While yours is deceptive, it's actually less deceptive than the majority of fake and adulterated honey, because yours actually admits it.
Trust me, I wasn’t trying to excuse it. There really is no excuse for straight up lying on the front of the product. That being said, it’s still good to know what to look out for.
Yeah, I think the issue is the label basically says "(not) honey" but is physically difficult to read. That kind of tells me it might be more of a true loophole situation, where the law actually is doing a good job of regulating the language but not the presentation. If they were gonna break the law I think they'd probably just call it honey. It looks like they are trying to subvert the purpose of the law while staying within the letter of it.
