I don't know for the US, but in Europe fake honey is a big problem. There were several grocery chains who had to call back their honey because of it

2,000-year-old honey that's still edible? Oh, I so want to taste. My grandfather was a beekeeper, and I learned about the different flavors of honey as he harvested from different locations throughout the season.

It's fun to purchase honey from beekeepers a hundred miles away and see how the flavor changes. I personally like late-season honeys, which tend to have richer flavors from late-summer and fall flowers.

Doesn't this make honey somewhat less unique? Aren't there many foods that will keep for hundreds of years if kept sealed?
