I guess this is pretty American of me, but it’s called “honey blend” for a reason.
I’m American, and honey blend implies to me that it is a mix of different types of honey. Like clover honey and whatnot. Kinda like a Red blend wine is a mix of different wines, not 50% merlot/50% rubbing alcohol or something.
I thought it was my EU brain interpreting it that way. The alternative, like your wine example, is basically a black market cut product anywhere else.
Clearly, and nothing personal here and I’m sure this honey company are good people, but my comment was more addressed at the larger societal issues of being an American (which I am) and how we’re constantly lied to and how we’ve normalized that 100%. So that small things like this don’t seem worth calling out. This particular label is not that bad, but in other countries, as others have said here, the label would be even clearer. Europeans don’t have to read between the lines with phrases like, “Made with…” to know that’s not the same as “100% made with …”. That’s all.
Just like American blended whiskey is a little bit of whiskey, neutral grain spirits, and caramel coloring.
