Abstract: In September of 2013 a story broke which would turn out to be the single largest incident of food fraud in our nation’s history. Who would have thought that it would involve a product as innocent and seemingly wholesome as honey? It’s no secret that food packaging can be misleading. But how could honey be the subject of an $80 million food import scandal that shook honey production and food processing industries? Chinese honey imports are banned due to frequent adulteration with antibiotics.
