the weirdest thing to me in the actual food safety news story is the idea that retailers want processed honey because it "lasts longer on shelves"...

i mean, honey basically *never* goes bad if it's stored it dry conditions. they've found 5000 year old honey in egypt that was totally edible. i imagine what this means is people don't know enough about honey to know that even if it crystallizes in the jar that it's still totally fine, but it's bizarre to need to stock a processed version of a product that never goes bad so people will buy it.
