> Those responsible for prosecuting - Trading Standards or Environmental Health departments - are under huge pressures trying to deal with much more important problems that do impact public health and safety.

It is no use complaining about fake honey if those creating the publicity are not prepared to follow up with complaints and then pursue those complaints if there is no action.

Here in Australia we have the same problem of authorities not wanting to pursue our complaints, saying it is not a public health issue, but we just keep following up with enquiries about our complaint until something is done.  After all they are responsible for enforcing the legislation, which covers fake or adulterated honey, and they should be held to account to enforce that legislation no matter what they think about the complaint.
