N.Y. Agriculture & Markets Law § 206: Relative to selling a commodity in imitation or semblance of honey

§ 206. Relative to selling a commodity in imitation or semblance of

honey. No person or persons shall package, label, sell, keep for sale,

expose or offer for sale, any article or product in imitation or

semblance of honey depicting thereon a picture or drawing of a bee,

beehive or honeycomb, or branded as "honey," "liquid or extracted

honey," "strained honey" or "pure honey" which is not pure honey. No

person or persons, firm, association, company or corporation, shall

manufacture, sell, expose or offer for sale, any compound or mixture

branded or labeled as and for honey which shall be made up of honey

mixed with any other substance or ingredient. There may be printed on

the package containing such compound or mixture a statement giving the

ingredients of which it is made; if honey is one of such ingredients it

shall be so stated in the same size type as are the other ingredients,

but it shall not be packaged, sold, exposed for sale, or offered for

sale as honey; nor shall such compound or mixture be branded or labeled

with the word "honey" in any form other than as herein provided; nor

shall any product in semblance of honey, whether a mixture or not, be

sold, exposed or offered for sale as honey, or branded or labeled with

the word "honey," unless such article is pure honey. A product which is

in semblance or imitation of liquid honey shall be labeled as "honey

flavored syrup" or "artificially honey flavored syrup", as is

appropriate.
