After watching the documentary 'Rotten' on Netflix I am not surprised that sugar syrup is being mixed in with the Tesco honey; every time a test is developed to check the authenticity of honey, the fraudsters will find a way round it. I hope there is a very large investigation into the issue.
On the plus side I think it will generate interest in our home produced UK honey. When we do farmers market we always have our honey out for taste tests, people walking through the market often say they don't like honey but on being persuaded to taste it can't believe the flavour and end up buying a jar. If people think honey tastes like the stuff you can buy for £1.35 I'm not surprised they don't like it. Incidentally MIL saw a jar of Manuka for £3 yesterday!!!!!!!
Incidentally the second series of 'Rotten' was just as good as the first, but you will never look at a bar of chocolate or an avocado the same way again.
