Syrup and honey processors get license exemption

Effective immediately, New York exempts qualifying tree-sap syrup and honey processors from this food-processing license requirement. To qualify, processors cannot buy syrup or honey from others for repackaging. They cannot mix it with ingredients that support the growth of germs that cause infections or produce toxins. They must also keep their facilities sanitary.
