The sweet deception: the bitter truth about adulterated honey

Advances in analytical technologies, like nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy, help to detect honey fraud more quickly and reliably.

Adulterated honey, a serious form of food fraud, impacts beekeeping significantly. Fake honey floods the market, eroding trust and harming producers. Advances in NMR spectroscopy help detect fraud, but consumers should recognize that real honey has health benefits, unlike adulterated versions.
