    Poland to Tackle Honey Fraud with Advanced Testing

    Poland launches advanced honey testing to combat fraud, ensure quality, and boost its position in the global honey market.

    The Polish Honey Chamber (PIM) and the Kujawsko-Pomorskie Scientific-Technological Center (KPCNT) have signed an agreement to combat honey fraud and enhance quality assurance. This collaboration aims to establish a state-of-the-art laboratory and develop a honey industry standard, ensuring transparency and authenticity for consumers.

    Cutting-Edge Technology in Honey Testing
    The new facility will utilize advanced methods, including H-NMR spectroscopy, to precisely analyze chemical compounds, sugar content, and pesticide residues. These innovations will ensure the safety and superior quality of Polish honey, helping it stand out in European markets.

    Poland’s Growing Influence in Honey Trade
    As a leading honey exporter in the EU, Poland stands to strengthen its position through this initiative. The forthcoming industry standard, while non-mandatory, will encourage good practices among producers, offering consumers confidence in their choices.

    “This partnership marks a milestone for Polish honey, boosting its global competitiveness,”

    said PIM Secretary General Przemysław Rujna.
