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, as beekeeping food detective Julio Fernandez 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.

00:52It makes us feel bad for farmers who love our profession.

00:56Because that type of honey makes us a bad competition in the market

01:00because they reach very cheap prices with which traditional agriculture can't compete.

01:04Food detective Armando Menendez 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.

01:18It's an important tool against mislabeling.

01:20The tool will be able to identify, in real time, what type of botanical origin is the honey.

01:27And this can help to detect, in real time, what type of botanical origin is the honey.

01:36And this can help to detect, in real time, what type of botanical origin is the honey.

01:41And this can help first detect the wrong ones, and also help the producer to know what type of etiquette

01:47is the one they can put in their product.

01:49The 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,

02:07las prepara en un porta muestras de forma muy rápida y sencilla, la coloca en el sensor,

02:13y 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, the team built a database of both hive-made honey and sugary syrups

02:28that imitate the work of the bees.

02:30Food detective Noemi Quintanal shows us the simple recipe for fake honey.

02:35Las mieles adulteradas son muy fáciles de sintetizar.

02:39Partimos de miel pura y de un sirope 100%.

02:42Principalmente utilizamos dos siropes, que son los siropes de arroz y siropes de maíz,

02:46los más utilizados hoy en día en el mercado.

02:50Ahora pesamos los gramos de sirope necesarios para llevar esta miel adulterada a X porcentaje de adulteración.

03:01Y para finalizar, debemos realizar una agitación leve para evitar la formación de burbujas.

03:07Y ahora ya tendríamos sintetizado nuestra miel adulterada.

03:11The fake and real honey database is used to train the system to recognize different samples and detect fraud.

03:18A día de hoy, esta base de datos consta de aproximadamente 110 muestras de miel pura y 120 muestras de miel adulterada.

03:25El 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.

03:38This honey research is centered 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.

03:52While fake honey isn't bad for your health,

04:14beekeeper Julio encourages consumers to check the quality label when they're buying a jar.

04:19I hope they can end the fraud in the sector of the sale of milk.

04:25All those milk that come from different countries, from different origins, from different qualities,

04:32will be subject to the same controls that make us subject to the apicultors or ambassadors of the national territory.

04:39And, above all, be aware of the people that we need to buy a certified product,

04:44whether it be the cost of the same, because it's a guarantee for the consumer.

04:48That'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.
