plants, gathered, modified and stored in the comb by honey bees,
which is levorotatory, containing not more than twenty-five
percent (25%) water, not more than twenty-five hundredths
percent (.25%) ash, and not more than eight percent (8%)
sucrose.
(b) It is unlawful to sell or offer for sale any product
which resembles honey and which is labeled, advertised or
otherwise represented to be honey, if it is not honey. The word
"imitation" shall not be used in the name of a product which
resembles honey whether or not it contains any honey. The label
for a product which does not resemble honey but which contains
honey may include the word "honey" in the name of the product,
and the relative position of the word "honey" in the product
name, and in the list of ingredients when required, shall be
determined by its prominence as an ingredient in the product.
