The European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) has released data on the risks to human health posed by the presence of grayanotoxins in honey. Grayananes are a type of chemical produced by certain flower species that can contaminate honey and affect humans.

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) conducted an assignment to collect and test imported honey in 2021 and 2022 for economically motivated adulteration (also known as food fraud), finding 10 percent of samples to be adulterated.
