This Regulation establishes the legal framework for the production, classification, composition, and labeling of honey marketed in Norway. It defines honey as a natural product made by bees and sets strict requirements for its composition (e.g., sugar content, water content, absence of additives), quality, and processing, while distinguishing between different types of honey (such as blossom honey, honeydew honey, filtered honey, and baker’s honey). The regulation also imposes detailed labeling rules, including origin disclosure and specific naming conventions, and allows limited additional descriptions (e.g., botanical or geographical origin). Enforcement is carried out by the Food Safety Authority, with provisions on supervision, exemptions, penalties, and transitional rules, ensuring compliance with both national law and EEA obligations.
