Abstract: |
A Canadian study of honey has found that nearly 24 per cent of imported products were labelled as pure but actually contained added sugar. “ Honey that has been deliberately adulterated is considered food fraud, which deceives consumers about what they are buying and creates an unfair market for those selling authentic honey,” the Canadian Food Inspection Agency wrote in its report. The CFIA examined 240 honey samples in the summer of 2018. Of those, 19 domestic samples proved authentic. |
