 Advice from one of our New Zealand scientists
>Yes, they will be considered adulterated
under the testing criteria...as the test doesn't differentiate whether
bees find the C4 sugar themselves or are fed it by humans!!! Remember the
M&M's fiasco in France where the honey turned blue and red?


The honey would need to have some slick
environmental marketing to leverage off the situation, as technically honey
is made from nectar, not cane sap (but technically it is not much different
to honeydew...could you call the honey 'canedew' or 'candydew' honey?
