Yeah, I think the issue is the label basically says “(not) honey” but is physically difficult to read. That kind of tells me it might be more of a true loophole situation, where the law actually is doing a good job of regulating the language but not the presentation. If they were gonna break the law I think they’d probably just call it honey. It looks like they are trying to subvert the purpose of the law while staying within the letter of it.
Trust me, I wasn’t trying to excuse it. There really is no excuse for straight up lying on the front of the product. That being said, it’s still good to know what to look out for.
To be fair the prominent, high contrast text is honey and thr blended syrup is written in faint, low contrast color.
It is intentionally misleading and does not deserve any excuses.
