"If somebody puts 'U.S. Grade A' on there, who's going to say it isn't?" said Harriet Behar, outreach coordinator with the Midwest Organic and Sustainable Education Service. "There's no enforcement, so people can say whatever they want."

Sounds like honey producers took a lesson from the bond rating agencies. ;)

Grade A from USDA is just what it says.

This is just organic people obfuscating.

It is like sea salt sellers trying to push the BS that pure sodium chloride from location “A” is different from pure sodium chloride from location “B”.

All nonsense. The article does not even name names.
