True Source Certified Honey aims to protect consumers, beekeepers, retailers and manufacturers
The non-profit True Source Honey Certification® Program (www.TrueSourceHoney.com) whose mission is to protect consumers, beekeepers, retailers and manufacturers from illegally sourced honey, applauded the Netflix documentary "Rotten" for shining a light on the ongoing challenges faced by the honey industry. The premiere episode of "Rotten" which began streaming on January 5, focuses on honey adulteration and circumvention which resulted in a large food fraud case prosecuted in the United States.
"Honey adulteration erodes public trust and undermines the work of honest beekeepers and packers," said Gordon Marks, executive director of True Source Honey. "It's the reason we launched the True Source Honey Certification® program."
