Do you need a license to sell honey in Utah?
To sell honey in Utah you generally have to register or get a license first.
Beehives must be registered with UDAF and the home registered as a food establishment. In-state; wholesale prohibited.
What your Utah honey label must include
Start with the federal basics that apply in every state:
- The word "Honey" (you can name the floral source, like "Wildflower Honey", if it is the main source)
- Net weight in both US and metric, in the bottom 30 percent of the front label
- Your name and address
- No ingredient list is needed for pure honey; add one the moment you add anything
Then, for Utah: "Home Produced" in bold, conspicuous 12-point type on the front panel (R70-560-6), plus packer name, street address, city, state, zip and phone. The honey standard (R70-520) sets the product name and net weight. Infant advisory recommended, not required.
For the full federal rules, including when a nutrition panel is required, see our honey labeling requirements guide.
The official Utah source
These rules are set by Utah Department of Agriculture and Food (UDAF). This reflects their published guidance; still confirm the current details before printing.
