Honey is a pure food. It doesn’t deteriorate over time. Unless it is contaminated by something from outside, it doesn’t spoil.

It’s bee puke! ;’)

The old joke (here in Michigan) — that there was a honey recall, because it was found to be contaminated with BPP.

You are correct.

Here is your cocktail party fact of the week!
In fact HONEY is the ONLY food that does not spoil. It may change characteristics - like crystallizing - but apply some heat and it returns to its unspoiled condition.

Due to its unique composition and the complex processing of nectar by the bees which changes its chemical properties, honey is suitable for long term preservation and is easily assimilated even after long conservation. History knows examples of honey preservation for decades, and even centuries. "...small residues of edible honey have even been found in the pharaoh's tombs.
