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.

Utah regulatory detail

In Utah, mad honey is treated as a general imported food product: there is no state statute specifically banning or authorizing it, so it falls under federal FDA and Utah Department of Agriculture and Food safety and labeling rules. Utah consumer law focuses on truthful marketing and standard age-of-majority (18+) for online purchases where identity or payment verification is required.

Buyers in Utah typically obtain mad honey through direct-to-consumer online imports from foreign producers or specialty sellers that handle any required import paperwork.
