Down to Earth, a fortnightly magazine in 2020 exposed a shocking fraud that is putting India's beekeeping industry in jeopardy. They found that sugar syrups were being deceitfully added to honey to cheat the strict adulteration tests set by the Food Safety Standards Authority of India.
Honey adulteration can take two forms: direct or indirect. Direct adulteration occurs when a substance is intentionally added directly to honey. This can include adulteration with corn sugar, cane sugar, rice syrup, or even individual sugars. On the other hand, indirect adulteration happens when honey bees are unintentionally exposed to adulterating substances through their food sources. Both forms of adulteration are concerning and can impact the purity and quality of honey. It's crucial to be aware of these practices, as consuming adulterated honey can have negative impacts on body.
Below is an old video of Dr. Bala where he talked about Air Pollution.
