00:00Europe's best food safety experts are joining forces to crack down on fraud.

00:05Euronews is following them in this special series called The Food Detectives.

00:10In this episode, we're following the team fighting fake honey in Spain.

00:21Honey can only be made by bees.

00:24However, what's labelled as honey in the shops isn't always pure.

00:27In fact, it can contain all kinds of other illicit sugars,

00:31as beekeeping food detective Julio Fernández explains.

00:44The problem is widespread.

00:46One study found that nearly half of the honey imported into the EU had been mixed with other sugars.

00:57This type of honey makes us a lack of competition in the market because they come to a very cheap price

01:02with which traditional agriculture can't compete.

01:05The food detective Armando Menéndez from the EU's Watson Project is working on a camera that can spot fake honey.

01:11The camera can also determine which plant nectar the bees consumed, which has an impact on its market value.

01:32It's an important tool against mislabeling.

01:34The food detectives are now testing this small infrared camera to beat honey fraud.

01:54It could be used to check quality of the beekeeper's property, avoiding lengthy and expensive lab tests.

02:00Con este dispositivo, la persona que va a hacer los controles de calidad recoge in situ muestras de miel,

02:08las prepara en un portamuestras de forma muy rápida y sencilla, la coloca en el sensor,

02:14y en pocos segundos tiene la información sobre si es una miel que está adulterada o es pura.

02:18To better understand how to identify the adulterated honey,

02:24the team built a database of both hive-made honey and sugary syrups that imitate the work of the bees.

02:31Food detective Noemi Quintanal shows us the simple recipe for fake honey.

02:48The fake and real honey database is used to train the system to recognize different samples and detect fraud.

03:17A día de hoy, esta base de datos consta de aproximadamente 110 muestras de miel pura y 120 muestras de miel adulterado.

03:24El dispositivo desarrollado en el proyecto Watson podría utilizarse en otro tipo de mieles,

03:30aumentando la base de datos, es decir, midiendo o analizando esas nuevas muestras que se quieren posteriormente medir con este dispositivo.

03:37This honey research is centred on the Spanish region of Asturias.

03:42It mostly benefits local authorities who can use the camera technology to verify the quality of honey sold in the region,

03:49and they hope it can be used further afield, too.

03:51It's a tool that's very expected, very necessary, and we're hoping that we can homologize it.

03:58It will help consumers to know what milk they're choosing and why they have to pay it.

04:03That added value that the milk has, it will be an important advance, not only for Asturias, not only for Spain, but also for Europe.

04:11While fake honey isn't bad for your health, beekeeper Julio encourages consumers to check the quality label when they're buying a jar.

04:18Espero que se pueda terminar con el fraude en el sector de la venta de miel.

04:25Todas esas mieles que llegan de diferentes países, de diferentes orígenes, de diferentes calidades,

04:32sean sometidas a los mismos controles a los que nos hacen someternos a los apicultores o embasadores del territorio nacional

04:38y sobre todo concienciar a la gente de que hay que comprar producto certificado, sea cual sea el coste del mismo,

04:46porque es una garantía para el consumidor.

04:47That's all for this episode.

04:50Next time on The Food Detectives, we're in Portugal,

04:52where connected vineyards promise total traceability in wine.

04:56See you then.
