美国FDA发布蜂蜜及蜂蜜制品标识指南草案

    食品伙伴网讯  据美国食品药品管理局（FDA）消息，4月8日美国FDA发布蜂蜜及蜂蜜产品标识指南草案，帮助食品行业正确标识蜂蜜及蜂蜜制品，并提醒不要掺杂掺假。

    虽然相关人士对指南的意见可以在任何时间提出，但是为了保证FDA在编制指南最终版本前可以收到意见，意见应于2014年6月9日前提出。

    部分原文报道如下：

    FDA is issuing draft guidance to help members of the food industry ensure they are properly labeling honey and honey products, and to remind them that honey and honey products must not be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    The draft guidance summarizes FDA's legal authority over honey and honey products; provides a commonly used definition of honey; and offers advice on labeling issues such as the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    All interested parties are invited to comment on the draft guidance document.
