Question:

Does honey contain additives?

The regular standard cheap honey in a jar you can buy in your local supermarket? Is that just actual honey or does it contain additives etc? Thanks.

Answer:

>There are no additives added to any honey I know of. First of all, there is so much sugar in the honey that there wouldn't be any water available to dissolve chemicals into and the only thing that is really done to honey is to pasteurize it (heat treat it). Most bugs will not grow in high solids like that due to osmotic pressure, the rest are killed by pasteurization and that means no additives are needed.
