I only buy verified honey from little guys. You buy supermarket commodity honey like “Sue Bee” and the honey comes from anywhere. It says so on the label
Thanks for pointing that out.
You sure about that? "Sue Bee" is a grower co-op and they've always been adamant that they only sell 100% US honey.
Sue Bee Honey - American Honey
In light of recent reports in the media of tainted or adulterated foods, Sue Bee Honey would like to reiterate to the American consumer its longstanding commitment to quality. "All Sue Bee Honey sold in grocery stores in the United States is 100% American and 100% pure," according to Sue Bee Honey President and Chief Executive Officer David Allibone.
Private label or store brand honey packaged by Sue Bee Honey also is 100% American and 100% pure. When Sue Bee states 100% American or American grown, it is referring to honey bees owned by American beekeepers producing honey in the U.S. and pollinating U.S. crops.
Sure, buy from the little guy if you can, but if you can't, I don't think "Sue Bee" is a bad second choice. I just posted because I don't want people to bypass an American product just because of an internet posting.
Yep, find a local source if you can. Some smaller groceries will carry more local stuff if you don’t know where to start.
