    I’m guessing this is a US thing? At least I’ve never heard of it before as a european and I’m pretty sure it wouldn’t be allowed to be sold as honey here

      Yeah, us Canadians have to check the label to make sure the honey is Canadian, otherwise its usually 50% corn syrup.

      Another easy tell is if you don’t mix it for a couple months it splits, and all the corn syrup floats to the top.

        American here … we’re really sorry. We don’t like it neither; but the corporations, you see? they need their profits.

            Same, and I eat a fair amount of honey. Even when I buy cheap stuff on the road, it’s 100% honey. Maybe there’s some Dollar General store brand that’s severely discounted and cut, but I’ve never seen it.

        i mean this is solved by not buying imported honey, even here in sweden i can just go on a walk around the area and find at least one person selling honey from their backyard at a perfectly resonable price, so i don’t see the point in buying imported unless you’re a colony of bees in a trenchcoat and need it to survive.
