§ 29409 Honey Packaging Deception Rules

“Deceptive pack” means any container or subcontainer of honey which has, in any exposed surface, honey or honeycomb, so superior in quality, appearance, condition, or in any other respect to the honey in the interior of the container or subcontainer, or the unexposed portion, as to materially misrepresent the contents. It includes any pack: (a) Even though the honey in a container is virtually uniform in quality as defined in this chapter, if the outer or exposed surface is composed of honey which is not an accurate representation of the variation in quality of the honey in the entire container. (b) Which is slack-filled, unless the container is so marked, even though such container is marked with the proper net weight of the honey which it contains. (Enacted by Stats. 1967, Ch. 15.)
