Summary : |
In 2015 the European Commission organised an EU coordinated control plan to assess the prevalence on the market of honey adulterated with sugars and honeys mislabelled with regard to their botanical source or geographical origin. All 28 Member States plus Norway and Switzerland participated in the plan. They collected over 2000 samples of honey at all stages of the supply chain. |
