Fifth of the honey on the EU market is fake

The European Commission’s highlighted honey investigation has confirmed the suspicion of farmers. Thanks to the most modern methods it turned out that fifth of the honey available in the common EU market is fake – Magyar Idők wrote.

Nagy István, Deputy Minister of the Ministry of Agriculture told the newspaper that although the order was managed to restore in this area in Hungary, the presence of the Asian honey remains a concern on the export market. The majority of EU citizens have not been aware of the fact that they are buying fake products by purchasing honey mixes. (magyaridok.hu, Köpöncei Csilla)
