Packaging

The honey shall be packed in hygienical­ly clean, wide-mouthed glass containers or in acid-resistant, lacquered tin containers, or in other suitable containers. With glass-bottle packaging, one does not have to worry about harmful substances from plastic leaching into the honey, or the plastic not being food-grade. The screwed caps for the glass containers shall be of non-corrosive and non-reactive material and shall be provided with washers to avoid spilling.

All the brands were packed in a sealed container.
