The Honey and Pollination Center, located in the Robert Mondavi Institute at UC Davis, will be hosting an online program on Honey Adulteration on April 22 from 9 to 11:30 a.m. PDT.

Insights presented will help specialty food retailers better understand how to source, promote and sell top quality honey.
Honey is the world’s third most adulterated food, right after milk and olive oil. Roberts, who has written papers for the United Nations and the U.S. government concerning food fraud in general and honey adulteration specifically, will deliver the Symposium Keynote.
