SB 1360 Texas Senate · 89th Legislature (2025)

Relating to the labeling and sale of Texas honey.

SB 1360 requires that honey labeled as "Texas honey," "product of Texas," "Texas blend," or "local honey" must be produced entirely from Texas apiaries and contain at least 75% nectar from Texas plants. This law directly affects honey producers and sellers who currently use these labels without meeting the origin requirements. Violations will result in a 90-day suspension of the seller's food manufacturing license by the Department of State Health Services. The bill takes effect on September 1, 2025.
