Petition Allow honey produced in a certain way to be sold as "raw honey"

The UK Government should allow honey to be sold as "raw honey" when it is unpasteurised and not heated above 40c.

More details

Current regulations require honey to be sold using specific terms depending on how it is produced. "Raw honey" is not a permitted term.

This can make it difficult for consumers to differentiate between honey that is produced in different ways.

The term 'raw' is a well recognised and understood by the consumer and I believe it would be sensible to allow people trading in honey to label their honey "raw" to distinguish products produced in this way from other honey.
