It doesn't say anything about the source of the samples - it could be supermarket honey purchased in the UK, sourced from abroad...
the 10/10 samples do not relate to Apimondia in any way, but a separate EU testing of supermarket honeys.
I would guess these samples were taken from supermarket shelves and not from beekeepers and we can all guess what crap goes into supermarket honey.
Does sucrose, glucose or other sugars have DNA to amplify?
Ah yes .. but what worries me is the methods of production in China, their lack of concern for using chemicals to aid growth and reduce pests and diseases and whether these chemicals - concentrated into a tomato puree end up on top of my carefully home made, free from anything I considered dodgy, pizza. Let's not even think about the human rights issues where, allegedly, people are being exploited tending the crops - and in some cases this appears to be sold by Waitrose - who claim incredibly high ethical standards and charge accordingly. Where does it all end ?
Make your own where you can. Youve discovered tomatoes you can grow so that’s a first step. I don’t bother with puree but freeze tub after tub of Mediterranean veg. That doubles up for tomato puree in any recipe.
I'm trying to recall a product which comes out of China which is legit and unadulterated. I'm struggling ....... any help?
Yes... just not a big enough crop ... I grow them outdoors and even down here on the South coast it really was not warm enough for long enough to produce the heavy crops you get from growing plum tomatoes .. the blight free ones that worked well are small to medium fruit, great taste but they are essentially salad tomatoes. I have a few kilos in the freezer but we ate about half the crop as they ripened.
That was measurably altered and adulterated, so I guess we are still looking
No. It was the end product, an entity of its own; a perfect storm
