Adulteration of sugar in branded honey of India.
Cheating customers in the name of branded honey.
Adulterated branded honey is being sold indiscriminately in the Indian markets. Its natural causes are human interference in honey production. Many companies are deliberately selling their branded honey in the Indian markets. Whereas pure honey is being sent for export. The companies that feed adulterated branded honey to their own countrymen are Indian.
Bees make honey not for humans but for their own needs and to nurture their larvae. But for his taste and health, humans consume and trade the food collected by bees. Beekeepers take away the honey from these bees and replace it with sugar syrup and other types of sugar syrups like rice maple and other cheap alternative sugar syrups or dhol to the bees so that the bees stay alive and keep making honey. This sugar or other syrup is mixed with pure honey along with the bees’ honey.
Honey is actually the juice of flowers that has been digested after the enzymes and digestive juices produced in the stomach of bees. Which is later spit out in the hive made by the bee. But now due to increasing demand for honey and human greed, sugar is being given to bees.
And as is the nature of sugar, it becomes both a habit and an addiction. And even the bee is not able to escape from this and starts considering sugar as its food. Beekeepers are also forced to do this to protect their bees. So that the bees neither die of hunger nor are killed by the effects of pesticides.
In such a situation, imagine that your branded honey
If the percentage is pure honey, it depends only on your discretion.
In a country like India, honey has a lot of utility. But due to the prices of honey, it is of daily utility only to the upper class and middle upper class. For the rest of the middle class and poor class, honey is just a remedy to be taken as part of a special puja or as an Ayurvedic remedy or in a bid to lose weight. Who can think of using honey as an alternative to sugar, which is five to seven times more expensive than sugar?
Anyway, bees are going to lose the battle for their existence soon. Due to human interference and the uncontrolled use of strong and lethal pesticides in agriculture, bees have reached the brink of extinction. After all, a bee is also a insect. And in nature, the work of flower fertilization depends on these insects.
If there are no insects then how will decisions be made? However, technology and scientists have found a solution to this also. And now these methods are also being used. To get better yield from many crops, pollen grains are being sprayed. And as far as honey is concerned, many options are available today. And the presence of these options will easily convert you into branded 100% pure honey.
Due to the lax laws of Food Safety and Standards Authority of India (FSSAI) regarding honey, branded honey of many companies is available in the market. The parameters of honey and purity of honey have been deliberately made in such a way that the branded honey is not adulterated with sugar or syrup. Being sold together.
In TV commercials you are taught the lesson of chastity by singing and dancing. And is fooled. If you feel that branded honey is adulterated then get it tested and if adulteration is found then file a case in the consumer court.
