Webinar - Honey authenticity: Novel syrup testing to protect your supply chain
It’s no secret that honey is one of the most adulterated foodstuffs in the world. The addition of syrups, falsifying origin, blending low-quality batches, and deviating from generally accepted beekeeping practices are widespread in the global marketplace. However, in 2025 there has been a rise in the number of samples testing positive for a novel syrup marker not previously seen as a common route for adulteration. Join our webinar on 14th January with authenticity expert Tim Hollmann – Laboratory Supervisor LC-HRMS, to learn more about this new marker and what it means for the industry.
Date: 14 January
Time: 10:00 AM CET
Duration: 45 minutes
