The bill amends Minnesota Statutes 2022, section 31.74, to establish specific labeling requirements for food products that consist of honey and another sweetener. It removes the term "imitation" from the legal language regarding the sale of honey-like products, clarifying that it is unlawful to sell or represent any product as honey if it does not meet the defined criteria for honey. The bill emphasizes that the labeling of such products must accurately reflect their contents and prohibits misleading representations.

Additionally, the bill introduces a new subdivision that outlines the necessary elements for labeling food that resembles honey but contains other sweeteners. These requirements include a clear statement of identity that describes the product and the common names of all ingredients listed in order of their weight. This aims to ensure transparency and prevent misbranding, aligning state regulations with federal standards.
