WHY HONEY TRACEABILITY IS IMPORTANT?
Honey adulteration is more common than you think for a simple reason – the demand for honey is on the rise. Honey is essentially made of glucose and fructose with some other sugars. This manageable composition along with the lack of certifications, standards, and traceability makes it easy to adulterate the product giving room for mass manufacturing that ignores malpractices for better profitability. Our end-to-end traceability of Honey from Hive to Jar, helps us ensure:
- AUTHENTIC AND PURE HONEY: Traceability helps verify that honey is pure and not adulterated with sugars, syrups, or other substances. It ensures that what’s labelled is what’s in the jar.
- FOOD SAFETY AND QUALITY: Traceability helps track and manage honey in case of contamination or quality issues, ensuring the product meets safety standards and regulations.
- TRANSPARENCY ON SUSTAINABLE AND ETHICAL SOURCING PRACTICE: Traceability provides insights into responsible beekeeping and environmental practices.
- SUPPORT FOR LOCAL BEEKEEPERS: Traceability can promote local beekeepers by providing consumers with information about the source of their honey, encouraging support for local economies.
- CONSUMER CONFIDENCE: When consumers know the origin of their honey, it builds trust and confidence in the product they are purchasing.
