One of the major beekeeping suppliers is backing a petition! For too long we have had honey coming from out of the US that has been blended with other countries “honey”.
Honey on the supermarket shelf has been identified as the 2nd most adulterated product that is presented to consumers. (1st place is olive oil)
So far there is no standard for the honey being brought in for sale by the government.
Buy local! Buy fresh! Buy raw!
American beekeepers are facing an unfair challenge.
Honey consumption in the U.S. is at an all-time high, yet American beekeepers now supply just 17% of the market, down from 80% forty years ago.
Adulterated imported honey is one of the reasons. It undercuts American beekeepers and erodes consumer confidence in what’s really in the jar.
Today, I’m asking our beekeeping community to stand together by signing a letter supporting stronger standards for honey.
