Recent lab tests have revealed that a staggering 80% of honey samples in German supermarkets are adulterated with sugar syrup, raising alarms about honey quality across Europe. Investigations in Austria echo these findings, leading to concerns about the integrity of honey sold in Switzerland. Environmental groups stress the difficulty in detecting counterfeit honey, which is often imported from Asia and South America. While local suppliers assure quality, industry experts warn that deceptive practices remain a significant risk in the global honey market.
