Only 100 Percent Pure Honey Makes Grade In Fla.
Beginning Tuesday, any honey that is sold in Florida is required to be 100 percent pure.
In 2006, Florida agriculture officials began to see a flood of honey that was sold with additives and chemicals.
Beekeepers petitioned the federal government to establish a national honey standard, but nothing happened. Now, the honey industry is embarking on a state-by-state effort to establish rules for pure honey.
