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.

You have to label the honey with the ingredients it is blended with as well in the US. So for this it would need to be "Blend of Honey and High Fructose Corn Syrup".

Nonono, that's a huge difference, in EU it's ILLEGAL to call it honey at all, you cannot call it honey blend either. And it's not enough to label that there is sugar added. If you add any amount of sugar it's not honey but sirup.

This reminds me of the dumbness of the Germans I know calling bread "toast" even though toast has to be toasted and white toastie bread has enough sugar to be a cake per eu regulations but it's not toast because it's not been toasted.

It doesn’t have to be in the name, just in the ingredients list. In this case it is, so it’s perfectly above-board for the US.
