It’s how you process it as in how it’s filtered and at what temperature. All honey even what’s called “raw honey” is processed in some way to remove bee parts or other contaminants. It’s micro-filtering that removes the pollen because some people are allergic to pollen and they choose to buy honey with the pollen removed. If, as the article states, any additives have to be listed. I have one of the honey manufactures that has the pollen removed and there is no listing of additives other than the statement “contains pure honey”.

Partially correct. If you strain it like I do(and don’t cook it), you only remove wax, bee parts, and large pieces of pollen. In my honey, you can see little specks which are pieces of pollen and minerals.
