Food Safety & Allergen Information

Last updated: 12 April 2026

Buzzin' Bees produces and sells raw honey in accordance with Swedish food safety regulations and EU Regulation (EC) No 853/2004 on hygiene rules for food of animal origin, and EU Regulation (EU) No 1169/2011 on the provision of food information to consumers.

Food Business Registration

Our apiary and honey-extraction operation is registered with the local municipality (kommunen) as a food producer in accordance with Swedish Livsmedelslagen (SFS 2006:804). Our production is subject to regular inspection.

Our Honey — Product Description

  • Product: Raw Swedish Wildflower Honey (Rå svensk ängshonung)
  • Origin: Produced at our apiary in Svinninge, Kalmar County, Sweden
  • Processing: Extracted by centrifuge, coarsely filtered (not ultra-filtered), not heat-treated above 40°C
  • Ingredients: Honey 100%
  • Sugar content: Naturally occurring — approximately 80% sugars (fructose + glucose)

Allergen Information

⚠ Important Allergen Warning

Do not feed honey to infants under 12 months of age. Honey may contain Clostridium botulinum spores which can cause infant botulism.

  • Honey is produced in an environment where bee products (propolis, beeswax, royal jelly) are present.
  • Our extraction equipment is used solely for honey — no cross-contamination with nuts, gluten, dairy or other common allergens.
  • Pollen: Raw honey naturally contains trace amounts of pollen. Individuals with severe pollen allergies should consult a physician before consuming raw honey.

Crystallisation

Raw honey naturally crystallises over time — this is a sign of quality and does not indicate spoilage. To re-liquify, place the jar in warm water (max 40°C) and stir gently. Do not microwave.

Storage

Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Honey has an indefinite shelf life when stored correctly. Best before date is provided as a quality indicator, not a safety cut-off.

Dr. Gost products (Polen Keki, Kış Keki, Oğul Esansı, Thor Bacillus) are classified as complementary feed for bees under EU Regulation (EC) No 767/2009. They are intended for use in beekeeping — not for human consumption.
