| Abstract: |
Honey adulteration erodes public trust and undermines the work of honest beekeepers and packers," said Gordon Marks, executive director of True Source Honey. "It's the reason we launched the True Source Honey Certification® program." Honey adulteration and the illegal practice of transshipping honey threaten the honey industry in North American by undercutting fair market prices and damaging honey's reputation for quality and safety. As highlighted in the documentary, the domestic honey industry has faced repeated problems with honey that is illegally transshipped from China through third countries to avoid anti-dumping duties. The True Source Honey Certification® Program is an industry-sponsored, voluntary program established to combat the problem of illegally shipped honey. |
