The Agrinautica

Barely legible slide about types of adulteration. The main thing seems to be that while lots of testing can detect the presence of "C4 sugars" that would come from say high fructose corn syrup and a lot of other traditional sources of sugar, rice makes "C3 sugar" which is much much harder to detect for some reason, so they either cut honey with sugar syrup from rice or feed the bees on it wihch isn't really any better, and then export it. Some countries, like the USA, have gotten wise to this and slapped stiff import controls on honey from China so that's where teh transhipment comes in, China sends honey to say Vietnam and they just say it's Vietnamese honey and export it on.
