Cyprus has made a new law about honey. The government wants to protect people who buy honey and help local beekeepers. The law will start in June 2025.
For many years, some products called "honey" did not have much real honey inside. They had other sweet things and flavours. This was confusing for shoppers and bad for honest beekeepers. The new rules will stop this confusion.
Now, labels must be very clear. Companies cannot use the name "filtered honey" anymore. The label must say where the honey comes from. If a product is a mix, it must say exactly how much real honey it contains.
There is also a new rule for "confectionery honey." This is for lower-quality honey that has things like pollen removed. This makes it different from pure honey.
Shops have six months to change their labels after the law starts. After that, products with wrong labels will be removed. Beekeepers are happy. They say people will now know what they are buying.
