HB 3522 Texas House · 89th Legislature (2025)

Relating to the labeling and sale of Texas honey.

HB 3522 requires that any product labeled "Texas honey" must consist exclusively of honey produced from apiaries located within Texas. This law directly affects honey producers, sellers, and manufacturers who currently use the "Texas honey" label on products. The bill prohibits labeling, selling, or offering for sale any product as "Texas honey" unless all honey in the product comes from Texas apiaries. The law takes effect on September 1, 2025, giving businesses time to comply with the new labeling standard. This is a straightforward labeling requirement with no additional provisions or exemptions.
