Did I miss something or is this article a bit light in details?
This testing organization claims 70% of honey they tested was adulterated in some way after talking about the most egregious offenders, making you assume it’s all just imported sugar filtered with hydrocarbons with a little honey mixed in. But they also claim just heating up raw honey to make it easier to work with is an offense according to their rules.
While I’m all for more transparency or standardization this feels a bit submarine like.
