Almost one in five Australian honey samples have been found to not be pure, according to a new study by Macquarie University.
The study, conducted at the same high security government lab where drugs seized by Border Force are tested, found 27% of overseas samples were mixed with non-honey substances.
It comes weeks after a Fairfax and ABC investigation found Capilano’s Mixed Blossom Honey was combined with other sweeteners such as beet syrup and rice syrup.
