How to Spot Fake Honey At The Grocery Store

Let's start by defining what honey is. According to the US Food and Drug Administration, honey is "a thick, sweet, syrupy substance that bees make as food from the nectar of flowers and store in honeycombs." It's a single-ingredient food that can last a lifetime on your shelf, with its antibacterial properties that can help prevent wound infections and even alleviate seasonal allergies.

However, not all honey sold in supermarkets is pure and authentic. Some honey bottlers have been diluting their honey with sweeteners, like corn or rice syrup, malt sweeteners, and unrefined sugar to increase production. They even go as far as adding heavy metals and antibiotics, which are harmful to your health.

So, how can you spot fake honey? Here are a few things to keep in mind:

First, avoid any honey labeled as "ultrafiltrated." This process removes pollen, which is a key identifier of authentic honey.

Second, don't be fooled by honey labeled as "pure." This term has no legal significance and doesn't guarantee purity.

Instead, look for the "True Source Certified" label. This certification independently verifies the ethical origins of honey, making sure it's pure and authentic.

Lastly, you can't get much more authentic than buying honey straight from the farmer or beekeeper. They'll know exactly what flowers the honey is derived from, and you'll be supporting local businesses and bees in the process.

To sum it up, be cautious when buying honey at the grocery store. Follow these simple steps to ensure you're getting the real deal. Thank you for watching, and we'll see you in the next video.
