Fake Honey
March 25, 2013
In many places around the world, especially the Middle
East and China, honey that is sold is often not 100% pure. Because honey is so
sweet, many honey sellers in these areas will add corn syrup or another similar
ingredients to dilute pure honey to make a larger profit. Because honey is so
sweet, added ingredients are easily masked by honeys’ sweetness. Last year (I
believe it was in Saudi Arabia) several honey packers were outed for these
practices. Many consumers in the Middle East purposely look for U.S. honey
because they know they are getting pure honey.
