Federal Framework

Mad honey is classified as a food under the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (FFDCA). No US state has specifically banned it. State-level action focuses on adulterated enhancement-honey products (see our sister site HoneyPackFinder for that archive) — a separate category from rhododendron-based mad honey.

Arizona regulatory detail

In Arizona, mad honey is treated as a general food product under federal FDA food law, with no Arizona-specific statute targeting it and no state ban reported. It is lawful to purchase and possess if labeling, import, and general food-safety rules are respected, with consumer protection and misleading-claims rules enforced as for other specialty foods.

Buyers in Arizona typically obtain mad honey via direct-to-consumer online imports from Nepal or other origin countries, occasionally through niche web retailers or small specialty shops.
