Sugar class, jaggery source and honey floral claims require different specifications. “Premium” or “organic” cannot replace lot-linked evidence.
Honey exception
Honey is animal-derived and not vegan. It remains only because you explicitly approved it as the catalogue’s sole exception; all other animal and marine products remain excluded.
Crystalline solid
The live name does not distinguish plantation white, refined or another statutory sugar class. Source crop and declared class must be confirmed.
Solid/block
Jaggery is not interchangeable with refined sugar. Declare cane or palm source, process and block/presentation; the current generic record does not prove botanical source.
Powder/granules
Powder is a physical presentation, not a separate botanical identity. Particle size, flow and anti-caking/additive status must be contracted.
Liquid honey
Multiflora/polyfloral describes nectar contribution, not geographic origin. Apiary/harvest traceability and authenticity evidence remain lot-specific.
Liquid honey
Mustard is a floral-source claim. It requires traceable forage/harvest information and appropriate pollen, sensory and physicochemical support; a state name alone is insufficient.
Crystal
Raw sugar is a distinct statutory/commercial class, not brown-coloured refined sugar. Cane source, mill/refinery lot and processing declaration are required.
Solid/block
Cane jaggery is made from sugarcane juice and is botanically separate from palm jaggery. Clarification aids, additives and regional claims must be disclosed.
Solid/block
Palm jaggery must declare palmyra or coconut palm source. It is not cane jaggery; date-palm jaggery remains a separate identity.

Plant-derived eligibility still requires confirmation of processing aids, additives and cross-contact controls.
