Don't forget this one: Is it actually honey? Honey flavored corn syrup doesn't help.
I'm guessing this is a US thing? At least I've never heard of it before as a european and I'm pretty sure it wouldn't be allowed to be sold as honey here
Yeah, us Canadians have to check the label to make sure the honey is Canadian, otherwise its usually 50% corn syrup.
Another easy tell is if you don't mix it for a couple months it splits, and all the corn syrup floats to the top.
American here ... we're really sorry. We don't like it neither; but the corporations, you see? they need their profits.
Another American here … I have literally never seen honey that’s been stepped on.
What brands do this?
Are you on the coasts or in the flyovers?
Also very much a problem in Europe sadly. Of course not allowed, but pretty hard to detect. There are test that can tell the difference, but they are not accepted by the EU (yet?).
i mean this is solved by not buying imported honey, even here in sweden i can just go on a walk around the area and find at least one person selling honey from their backyard at a perfectly resonable price, so i don't see the point in buying imported unless you're a colony of bees in a trenchcoat and need it to survive.
It is a thing. I think it started with "pancake syrup" being corn syrup with brown color and artifical maple flavor. You know, Big Buttersworth
They said local honey, not factory made junk.
I would hope the roadside stand in front of the apiary has real honey and not corn syrup. But you never know...
