Am I incorrect when thinking that any honey that is manipulated, added to or has material removed from it may
no longer be termed as honey?

Refined honey!

I am thinking that this "honey" in the sauce may be nothing more than cheap, near denatured bakers honey that
has been heated to such a level that it may have the appearance of molasses.

As to getting the companies using honey in their products to come clean - that will be like getting a European
cuckoo to come and welcome spring in my Manitoban garden.

Only those who use prime materials are proud of their base materials and they prove what they are using quite
openly.

I suppose it might be interesting to ask to see a sample of the honey - that would not break trade secrets.

.... "honey molasses is a refined honey, not available
for sale."...

One may also ask if it is not for sale, then why not? - Unfit for general sale!

If publication of a specific article is to be envisaged, IMHO there is little point in doing so in a
Beekeepers journal, the readers would I presume be already informed and onside.

Consumer protection organisations might be interested.

Any national organisations willing to take on the general use of honey in a manner that practically frauds the
general public? I am not in any position to get things moved.

Regards,

Peter
