To be fair the prominent, high contrast text is honey and thr blended syrup is written in faint, low contrast color.

It is intentionally misleading and does not deserve any excuses.

Yeah, I think the issue is the label basically says "(not) honey" but is physically difficult to read. That kind of tells me it might be more of a true loophole situation, where the law actually is doing a good job of regulating the language but not the presentation. If they were gonna break the law I think they'd probably just call it honey. It looks like they are trying to subvert the purpose of the law while staying within the letter of it.
