The maximum HMF level for table honey in the EU is 40ppm although there
is no way for the small scale beekeeper to determine whether his honey
is above or below this level. A pot of strawberry jam will have HMF at
about 500ppm with no problems so I conclude that HMF in honey is not a
real problem but one more example of unnecessary and undesirable
government interference.
