HI, I am currently designing the labels for my jars, and am curious about the wording 'LOT', that has to be put on a label if being sold by another vender, do you have to use the wording 'Lot' OR can you use something else? ie the intials of the hive that the honey came from, and then write a number next to it?......
I believe that as long as the honey is traceable, it's OK how you manage it.
I did have a label where I could write a batch or lot number on it. But got fed up writing on the label and also I needed to change the best before date annually so I then changed to my current label which says "BBE see back" and has a label on the back of the jar from a price gun which I got from the local Bookers; it has space on it for a batch(lot) number of 2 digits, a hyphen and then a use by date of 4 digits. So the customer sees [19- 2023] for batch number and use by date. Local Trading Standards took one from a shop a few years back and were OK with it. They were also happy with my name and postcode - and not the whole address.
