On July 14, 2020, the German Bundestag published document BT-Drs 19/21069, requesting the Federal Government to promote the establishment of new regulations for the identification of origin of honey within the EU.
At present, the labeling method of the origin of honey sold and circulating in the EU market is usually "produced in EU countries" or "produced in non-EU countries". Such labeling methods are not conducive to consumers to fully understand product information, and also prevents local honey to compete with imported products.
Therefore, the German Bundestag requires the government to promote the implementation of more precise and accurate honey origin marking regulations within the EU. The document also requires the federal government to pay full attention to imported honey, especially the import status, product quality and product safety status of honey from China (including nectar plants, drug residues, allergens, etc.).
