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.

Nebraska regulatory detail

In Nebraska, mad honey is treated as a food product under federal FDA food law, with no Nebraska statute specifically targeting mad honey itself. State honey-identity rules require that anything labeled or implied as “honey” meet Nebraska’s standard, and mislabeling can be pursued as a deceptive trade practice, typically in a general consumer-protection posture with standard age norms for food sales.

Buyers in Nebraska typically obtain mad honey via direct-to-consumer online imports from foreign producers or specialized retailers that ship into the state.
