The recent authenticity tests revealed that over 90% of honey from large UK retailers was potentially adulterated, prompting calls for a review of supply chains.
Lynne Ingram, chair of the Honey Authenticity Network UK, stated that the influx of cheap, imported adulterated honey is undermining genuine honey producers and misleading consumers.
An investigation revealed that 46% of imported honey products were suspected of being fraudulent, highlighting the urgent need for advanced testing techniques and improved labelling.
Despite challenges to the reliability of authenticity testing, this latest batch suggests widespread adulteration exists in the honey supply chain, particularly among bulk imports.
