which is why every uk listing now reads like a travel blog. "traditional himalayan delicacy, enjoyed for centuries". mate you sell jars

anecdote not law but — bought a jar in a shop in london last year. ingredients: honey. country of origin blank. no batch code, no lot number, no importers address anywhere on it. whatever the legal position is, that label told me plenty about the seller

country of origin: mountains, probably

@CarryOnCarl the food business operator's name and address is a basic labelling requirement, not decoration. A jar missing it isn't evidence of a ban, it's evidence nobody could be bothered. Two different problems, and they keep getting collapsed into one.

worth saying it the other direction too. "not clearly authorised as a food" isnt the same as "poison in a jar" — people jump straight from hype to panic with nothing in between. take the paperwork seriously, dont catastrophise. and none of this is about you owning a jar anyway, thats a separate question from someone selling you one
