I was permanently banned from the Reddit sub without recourse for posting this despite not breaking any rules. I'm slowly making the migration over thanks to such encouragement.

I'm okay with the product itself existing. I mean blah blah Americans put corn syrup in everything sure, you're allowed to buy honey and you're allowed to buy corn syrup, you're allowed to mix them in your own kitchen, I'm okay with this substance being allowed on the store shelf.
"Honey Blend" strikes me as one of those FDA required weasel phrases like "processed whey product" or "beef-related substance". You don't usually see the word "blend" on a honey bear bottle, says something's up.
The ingredients are plainly listed.
The nutrition facts are not; you'd have to lick a stamp to learn them, which I hope isn't legal.
Nutritional facts aren't as strictly controlled for small businesses/side businesses.

It doesn't seem to be legal in this particular case, however IANAL and may have missed something. What is concerning is that it does seem to be legal in a whole slew of cases that have some pretty big loopholes if that is what you happen to be looking for.
