Beekeepers worldwide are struggling against counterfeit honey that floods the global market, making it nearly impossible for real producers to compete. A shocking undercover investigation at Paris SIAL 2024 has revealed how fake honey, often a mix of syrups and additives, slips past outdated testing methods, including the inadequate sugar profiling tests. In their place, DNA-based testing offers hope but remains underutilised.
