Brands to Ban
Bakersdozen:
We beekeepers, in good years, are fortunate enough to be able to avoid supermarket honey. For those of you that proselytize about the health benefits of a local beekeepers honey to friends, family, customers, etc. here is a list of honey brands that the Food Safety News consistently didn't find a trace of pollen in. I could go on about honey hacking and that labels lie, but that would be preaching to the choir. Here is a pdf file with a list of name brands to avoid.

*apologies, I don't know how to insert a link in this new forum...yet. Maybe iddee can assist? Copy and paste will have to work for now.
If anyone prints out a flyer or honey recipes to hand out at their local Farmer's Market or with each sale of honey, you might consider adding this.
iddee:
Just put www. before it.
riverbee:

G3farms:
It would have been good if they listed all of the brands that WERE tested. This list leads you to believe that "if not on the list it must have passed" type of thinking.
apisbees:
The lack of pollen in honey does not prove that there is anything wrong with the honeys listed from the companies on the list. Sue Bee is a beekeepers honey co-op and even that they ultra filter their honey doesn't mean that there is anything else than pure honey in the jar. My sister in-law who has severe alleges to almost all pollens can not eat my pollen filled honeys where she does not have any reaction from ultra filtered honey from Bee-maid Honey, who is the beekeepers Co-op of the Canadian Prairie Provinces. When we put the label Pure Honey on our jars along with the nutritional information. Pollen should not be present in our honey. IMHO.
