Honey Testing Services

At Economic Testing and Research Laboratory, we provide honey testing services, checking for moisture and sugar levels, measuring manuka content (if any), and, most crucially, testing for potentially fatal tutin contamination are all part of making sure your honey is ready to sell. The fakest honey is made by mixing a small amount of real honey with other sugary syrups derived from sugarcane, corn, or rice, and heavily processing the mixture. Unlike natural, raw honey, which is harvested from honeycombs and only minimally removed by filtration bits of wax and honeycomb debris, most fake honey is made by mixing a small amount of real honey with other sugary syrups derived from sugarcane, corn, or rice, and heavily processing the mixture. Honey is mostly made up of sugars, most notably fructose and glucose. Adulteration of honey with sugar syrups was cited as the most common misconduct, followed by misrepresentation of honey's geographical and/or botanical origin.
