Authenticity testing of Honey

HONEY - NECTAR FOR LIFE

HONEY Wonderfully rich golden liquid is a miraculous product, produced by Honey Bees from floral nectar. It enjoys a special status not only as a source of energy, but, also for its health promoting properties being a rich source of Enzymes, Vitamins and Minerals.

FAKE HONEY?

Being a high value product it becomes prime target for fraudulent adulteration with Cane sugar, High Fructose Corn Syrup, Invert Sugar, Rice Syrup etc. Adulterated Honey loses the Medicinal Values of this Golden Nectar.
