Canadian Testing Reveals 28,000 Pounds of Adulterated Honey
The Canadian Food Inspection Agency’s (CFIA) recent surveillance and enforcement actions have stopped over 28,000 pounds of adulterated honey from entering the Canadian market.
The honey—valued at nearly $77,000—was discovered during targeted tested carried out by CFIA. Under Canadian law, honey is a standardized product. If sugars or syrups are added, it is then considered an adulterated product and cannot legally be sold as authentic honey within Candian borders.
