美國FDA發布蜂蜜及蜂蜜制品標識指南草案

      據美國食品藥品管理局（FDA）消息，4月8日美國FDA發布蜂蜜及蜂蜜產品標識指南草案，幫助食品行業正確標識蜂蜜及蜂蜜制品，并提醒不要摻雜摻假。

    雖然相關人士對指南的意見可以在任何時間提出，但是為了保證FDA在編制指南最終版本前可以收到意見，意見應于2014年6月9日前提出。

    部分原文報道如下：

    FDA is issuing draft guidance to help members of the food industry ensure they are properly labeling honey and honey products, and to remind them that honey and honey products must not be misbranded or adulterated under the provisions of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act. The proper labeling of these products helps to ensure that consumers understand the contents of honey and honey products available for purchase and can differentiate between them.

    The draft guidance summarizes FDA's legal authority over honey and honey products; provides a commonly used definition of honey; and offers advice on labeling issues such as the floral source of honey, blends of honey and other sweeteners, and blends of honey and other ingredients, such as flavors. It also describes some of the measures FDA takes to guard against honey adulterated with cane sugar, corn syrup, or residues of chloramphenicol or fluoroquinolones.

    All interested parties are invited to comment on the draft guidance document.
