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.

01:11We've developed a tool based on optical sensor,

01:16which is able to analyze, in real time,

01:19and can detect if that honey is pure or if it's adulterated with the addition of exogenous azúcares.

01:26The camera can also determine which plant nectar the bees consumed,

01:30which has an impact on its market value.

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

01:34The tool will be able to identify, in real time,

01:37what type of botanical origin is the honey.

01:40And this can help, first, detect the wrong ones,

01:44and also help the producer to know what type of etiquette is the one they can put in the 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,

01:57avoiding lengthy and expensive lab tests.

02:00With this device, the person who is going to do the quality controls

02:04recoge in-situ the honey.

02:07They prepare them in a very fast and easy way.

02:12They place them in the sensor

02:14and, in a few seconds, they have the information

02:16about whether it's a honey that is adulterated or pure.

02:19To better understand how to identify the adulterated honey,

02:24the team built a database of both hive-made honey

02:27and sugary syrups that imitate the work of the bees.

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

02:35The adulterated honey are very easy to synthesize.

02:38We start from pure honey and 100% syrup.

02:42We mainly use two syrups,

02:44which are the syrups of bread and corn syrup,

02:46which are the most used nowadays in the market.

02:49Now we weigh the grams of syrups,

02:54which are necessary to bring this milk adulterated

02:58to an X percentage of adulteration.

03:01And, to finish, we must make a slight agitation

03:05to avoid the formation of bubbles.

03:07And now we would have our milk adulterated synthesized.

03:11The fake and real honey database is used to train the system

03:14to recognize different samples and detect fraud.

03:18This honey research is centered on the Spanish region of Asturias.

03:25It mostly benefits local authorities who can use the camera technology

03:30to verify the quality of honey sold in the region.

03:32And they hope it can be used further afield, too.

03:34This honey research is centered on the Spanish region of Asturias.

03:41It mostly benefits local authorities who can use the camera technology

03:46to 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

04:17when they're buying a jar.

04:19I hope they can finish with the fraud in the market of milk.

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

04:28from different origins, from different qualities,

04:32will be subjected to the same controls

04:34that make us subjected to the apicultors

04:37and ambassadors of the national territory.

04:39And, above all, to be aware of the people

04:41that we have to buy a certified product,

04:44whether it be the cost of the same,

04:46because 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.

04:57in the later days it will be easier for more than one.

04:58Thank you,

05:01and remember to meet you.

05:03And we'll see you then.

05:04there we go.

05:05In the next situation,

05:06will be at the moment.

05:07足 of water.
