I was permanently banned from the Reddit sub without recourse for posting this despite not breaking any rules. I'm slowly making the migration over thanks to such encouragement.

Hmm that would be illegal in the EU and UK, where nutritional info and proportion of honey would be required.
Quite tempted to write in though. Anyone else?
It is also required in America. The FDA requires it except for small business. Also the EU wouldn't even let this have the word "Honey" in the name at all. I'd assume that the retail business above doesn't reach the threshold of 500,000 so can request for an exemption of nutritional labeling.
A local supermarket chain got a fine because they had "fake cheese" sold in the cheese section. It wasn't labeled as cheese, but it was under a large CHEESE banner. I think it was leftovers from cheese production just mixed up.
I'm ok with not throwing away stuff, but it tasted like sin, even for cheap industrial cheese standard.
Curds maybe. Seems an odd thing to fine someone over. Curds are made into cheese and also commonly sold just as curds. It’s pretty much what paneer is. Perhaps someone expects it to be generic “dairy”.
There's a legal definition of what can be called cheese, same as with a lot of products. Curd can be used, what (I recall) is that they were mixing up leftover cheeses from production into a single one, which is not allowed in general.
I tried to find the article, it happens some time ago.
So you can have 10 cheeses but not a mutant 10-cheese. Interesting.
The Dutch consumer program recently showed that most honey in regular retail are made with a special stain of sugar syrup, made in China, that is indistinguishable from real honey using the common tests.
With more modern testing methods it can be sniffed out, but even though this product would be illegal, the same thing happens on large scale in Europe.
You don't need nutritional info on pure honey, the standard glasses and labels from the German beekeeper's association certainly don't have that info on them, also, you'd need to test batch-wise. They analyse for maximum water and minimum enzyme levels, but not nutritional value that's basically given by the water content, a bit more or less protein or pollen doesn't change the values in a way anyone caring about macros would care about: For those intents and purposes honey is pure sugar.
And with such an abomination, they would have to state how much honey is in there.
This would be sold at a farmer’s market or something like that rather than in a super market. Just my guess. They may also have been breaking the rules the whole time and enforcement is lax.
