Title: Woohoo I received a rather large order for my honey next year
Post by: vermmy35 on November 06, 2010, 04:01:12 pm: The order is for 250 to 325, 6oz jars of my honey, for a wedding. My question is what should I put on the label for the jars. should I put Congratulations to the couple's (name) from Chicago's Sweet Stuff or just leave Chicago's Sweet Stuff of it.

Thanks in advance Norm

That's going to be on a card attached to the Jar.

Post by: BeesNeeds on November 07, 2010, 01:43:15 pm: Food laws are a bit different, and Chicago food laws get even tighter. Mofo's require a whole separate certification for them since state safe-serve isn't good enough, lol. Tread carefully, you might want to contact the Chicago honey co-op to see how they handle it.

Anywho, you should totally put your name on the tags, and the words raw honey. People might not get what the little jars are if they aren't marked honey. And you should let people know who you are so if they want more of your sweet stuff, they know where to find you.

Post by: vermmy35 on November 08, 2010, 10:38:50 am: Actually Beesneeds, I have read the laws and this is one of those gray areas. As far as the Raw Honey goes, that must appear on the Label, no if ands, or buts about it. My question is, should I put my company on the label. The only reason I call it a company, is because I had to get a business lic. from the state and city.

Ah, sorry if I misunderstood and babbled about food law then :)

But yeah, you should absolutely put your name on there!
