Does anyone know if any of the supermarket honeys (or any honeys) are pasteurised, or are they all ‘raw’ or ‘pure’ and not heat treated? I am told that raw or unpasteurised honey is not suitable for people with compromised immune systems because of the risk of botulinum bacteria. Any thoughts?

We eat a lot of honey, and it never occurred to me to look before (didn’t need to) but I bought a brand I don’t usually buy and looked at their website. It is unpasteurised, and has had no heat treatment - merely filtered to remove 
“hive parts”. It doesn’t say any of that on the label. I’m thinking I might return it but have to think about what to buy in its place. Might have a look in Holland and Barratt.
