[log in to unmask] +++++ Egon asked >At what temp. and time is natural honey pasteurized? ------------------------------------- I have read several schedules like the one below to kill naturally occurring yeasts in honey. But this DOES NOT apply to disease pathogens such as those causing problems with infants as discussed on BEE-L a while ago. Degrees Centigrade Minutes 52 407 54 170 57 60 60 22 63 7.5 66 2.8 68 1.0 The only 'regulation' about this that I am aware of in Canada is that honey may be raised a grade limited by water content. i.e., it can be pasteurized instead of dried to achieve the higher grade. Does anyone have anything to add to this? george fielder
