Honey

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.

The majority of honey sold commercially would be pasteurised as it prolongs shelf-life for a start; plus as with unpasteurised milk it would be a minority purchase due to the health risks.

You will find pasteurised honey in Supermarkets, farm shops, markets, Holland and Barrett Greyduster. Which I think would be a safer option for immunosuppressed people.
