permitted; removal prohibited. ---
(1) All producers, growers, and shippers of fresh
fruits and vegetables and bee pollen and honey in this state shall
be permitted to mark each individual fruit or vegetable, package of
bee pollen, or package of honey in a conspicuous place as legibly,
indelibly, and permanently as the nature of the fruit or
vegetable, package of bee pollen, or package of honey will permit,
in such manner as to indicate to an ultimate purchaser that the

package of bee pollen, or package of honey, including any package
containing foreign honey blended with domestic honey, produced in
any country other than the United States and offered for retail
sale in Florida shall be marked individually in a conspicuous place
as legibly, indelibly, and permanently as the nature of the fruit
or vegetable, package of bee pollen, or package of honey will
permit, in such manner as to indicate to an ultimate purchaser the
country of origin. Markings shall be done prior to delivery into
Florida.
(2) All retail vendors engaged in the business of
selling products labeled or identified as to origin shall be
prohibited from willfully and knowingly removing such labels or
identifying marks.
