Really? Only in Canada?

[Perry]

Seen on the grocery shelf in our local store today.
It seems either a mix of Argentine and Canadian, or this.....

Yuuuuk! I'm sorry the stores are selling that junk... 

[Lburou]

Disappointing for sure...At least they are honest about the Chinese honey.  :-)

One of the biggest labelling gimmicks out there: "Canada #1 white"  under canadian regulations this is the GRADE of the honey and has nothing to do with country of origin.

[apisbees]

It looks like deceptive advertising Which I agree that is to the consumer. But "

CANADIAN NO.1

" is the refinement grade of the honey.  Any honey retailed out of your home markets must have the grade as well as color class. The honey also needs to contain the country of origin and the nutritional information. Ingredients of items found in a product need to be listed with the items making up the largest proportions listed first.

A BLEND OF CHINESE AND CANADIAN HONEY

One good thing about McCormick Natural Honey Farms honey is that they are bringing it in direct through customs so it is being tested for residue and contamination. More than one can say for the laundered honeys coming thrugh country's that produce very little honey.

[Perry]

So you're saying that there is more Chinese honey in there than Canadian?

[Michelle]

  this really makes me mad. I read every label now and won't buy any food not made in Canada.

Can't say 100% but under Canadian food labeling law's If they followed them, I would think so. Sorry Perry.
If you checked it the honey would also be at the max for water content. Which any beekeeper knows is a hard thing to have happen naturally. Most of our honey alway has a lower moisture content.
STANDING ON SOAP BOX:  Adding water to honey by poring it in, or using steam, for watering down the honey for me is unethical. Allowing the honey to absorb the moisture by having them in a area of a high enough relative humidity environment, so the honey will absorb moisture through the natural process I do not have a problem with.

Don't know about Canada, but in the states, the ingredients are listed in order of content. It's a shame to import things from countries that have such a poor track record for pesticide abuse. I forget what they started spraying for and what province, but they managed to kill all the bees (and probably all the other natural pollinators too) and were resorting to have poeple go in and pollinate with feathers.

From that label, they could have filled the bottle with Chinese honey, and added ONE DROP of Canadian honey, and the label would be true.
