Did you know that honey as an expensive product is vulnerable to fraud? Scientists at Cranfield have developed two new rapid tests to accurately detect cheap syrups that have been added to honey. 🍯 The tests use DNA barcoding and specialist light analysis, helping to protect genuine suppliers and consumers – and taking the sting out of honey fraud. The project was supported by STFC, Food Standards Agency and BBSRC. Read more: https://bit.ly/46SnQEN #WorldHoneyBeeDay
