Allergen Information
Nutritional Summary
The product is 100% honey with no additives, which is positive. However, the nutritional label is highly misleading, stating only 0.9g of sugar per 100g, while the carbohydrate content is 79.5g. In honey, carbohydrates are almost entirely sugars. This discrepancy makes the label non-compliant and confusing for consumers. The grading is lowered due to this misleading information, assuming the actual sugar content aligns with the carbohydrate value.

Marketing Claims
The claim '100% Pure Honey' is severely undermined by the nutritional information provided. Pure honey should have a sugar content nearly equal to its carbohydrate content (approx. 80%). The label's declaration of 0.9g sugar per 100g is scientifically inaccurate for pure honey and misleads consumers into believing it is a low-sugar product, which it is not. This is a significant ethical and compliance issue.
