Packaged grocery. Honey adulteration with sugar syrup is a documented issue in India. NMR testing is what detects it
Direct answer: is the Dabur 100% Pure Natural Raw Honey 1kg Squeezy right for you?
Honey is one of the most adulterated foods sold in India, and the reason is technical: conventional purity tests do not detect modified sugar syrups engineered to pass them, while nuclear magnetic resonance testing does.
Dabur 100% Pure Natural Raw Honey 1kg Squeezy
Editorial verdict
Grounded in published specifications
Summary verdict: Honey is one of the most adulterated foods sold in India, and the reason is technical: conventional purity tests do not detect modified sugar syrups engineered to pass them, while nuclear magnetic resonance testing does. A 2020 Centre for Science and Environment investigation reported that samples from several major Indian brands, this one included, passed Indian tests and failed NMR abroad; the companies disputed it, and FSSAI subsequently made NMR mandatory for export honey. The practical step is to look for published NMR results.
Who should buy this

Who should avoid this
Never give honey to a child under 12 months -- infant botulism risk.

No notes
Widely available with a squeezy pack that does not crystallise as visibly. That was the whole reason I picked this over the cheaper options, and it is exactly as described. Also worth mentioning: FSSAI licensed and subject to strengthened post-2020 standards. Been using it now for a couple of weeks.

My mistake, but read the avoid note
Genuinely my own fault. Posting so somebody else does not repeat it. The listing says who should avoid this: Never give honey to a child under 12 months — infant botulism risk. That was my situation and I ordered anyway. It does what it says on the page — it just was not the thing I needed.

Three stars, and here is exactly why
Leading with the problem, because it is what I would have wanted to read: Named in the 2020 CSE adulteration investigation, which the company disputed. Conventional purity tests do not detect modified sugar syrups. Neither is hidden — both are listed on the page — but they matter more in daily use than they look on a spec sheet. I have kept it, for one reason: Widely available with a squeezy pack that does not crystallise as visibly. That still outweighs the rest, but only just.

After a few months
Had this six weeks now, so this is not an unboxing opinion. FSSAI licensed and subject to strengthened post-2020 standards. Still mildly irritated by one thing: Named in the 2020 CSE adulteration investigation, which the company disputed. Known trade-off rather than a fault, though, and I would buy it again.

Checked the fssai claim
I compared four of these on paper before ordering, so the line I actually checked was "FSSAI". The page says Indian standards were subsequently strengthened, and FSSAI made NMR testing mandatory for export honey, and that is what turned up. Widely available with a squeezy pack that does not crystallise as visibly.
