The label angle matters too. The moment a listing makes a health or effect claim, you've potentially moved it out of "ordinary food". Two identical jars treated differently based purely on the marketing.

anecdote not law but a jar i brought back years ago was labelled plain wildflower honey, nothing else on it. zero questions. whether that means it was fine or just not noticed i have no clue. probably says more about labels than about legality tbh

@TrailTori honestly that's the most useful data point here, because it shows the gap between what's allowed and what happens. People constantly collapse those two. If it matters for your own situation, read the current official import guidance directly rather than a 2019 forum post. This one included.
