Report: Enhanced honey authenticity surveillance (2018 to 2019)

摘要

In recent years, the Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA) has become aware of the risk that the adulteratioi of honey with foreign sugars has increased, both in Canada and globally. Adulteration occurs when other ingredients are mixed into a food and yet the food is represented as being genuine honey. Honey that has bee deliberately adulterated is considered food fraud, which deceives consumers about what they are buying and creates an unfair market for those selling authentic honey.
