Kansas State University is partnering with the American Honey Producers Association to ensure that imported honey is pure.
The United States consumes nearly 600 million pounds of honey each year, but only 125 million of that is produced on U.S. soil.
Some of those imports have been found to be altered with cheap sweetener ingredients.
The newly formed American Honey Institute at K-State will help provide independent testing for certification to recognize pure, unadulterated honey, ultimately strengthening the honey supply chain.
