Rob asks "I'm wondering if HFCS is already in a lot of honey
and just at level deemed acceptable or non-detectable."

Last I heard HFCS levels of over 6% are detectable in honey.  But 5% of all
the honey sold in the US is a very large number...so there is plenty of
incentive to dilute.

But, who cares?  Do the packers REALLY care?  Do the large cereal makers?
Sure, Whole Foods and their ilk care, but do they care enough to (pay the
money) to test?  Unless they do, the packers will not test.  My guess is
this question is in the hands of the Krogers, Whole Foods, Piggly Wiggly,
Kellogs, etc of the world.  Unless they care, economic theory says that HFCS
will be at just about 5% of the honey sold.

Sorry to be so cynical, but it may be the result of being 66 years old!
