AMS Adds More Time for Comments on Possible Honey Standard

The Agricultural Marketing Service is extending until Oct. 19 the period for public comments on the feasibility of a new standard of identity for honey. AMS originally requested comments on the issue in August (see 14081917). The Food and Drug Administration declined to set a standard for honey in 2006, but AMS can also set standards and was directed to report on the possibility of a honey standard by the 2014 Farm Bill.
