Worms found inside this brand of honey: beware here is the one

Over the past few months, numerous reports have been received by the Department of Health from consumers who have found worms in a well-known brand of organic honey. Honey is a substance that, because it contains a very high level of sweetness, is increasingly used in desserts and even many do not miss the opportunity to completely replace classic sugar to sweeten hot drinks with this food. It is a food that represents a considerable expense for Italian families, especially when it comes to honey from organic beehives.

Some data show an exponential increase in honey purchases during the first months of confinement. At that time, many tried to reproduce confectionery and jams, that is, products in which honey is the master. Since then, consumers have never abandoned it. But, over the past few months, many unpleasant events have occurred that have changed the minds of the people about the constant purchase of this product. There are so many brands involved, let’s see them together.

Both big and small brands have been brought to the attention of the relevant authorities, which in our case are either the local health authorities or the Ministry of Health; consumers have paid attention to the presence inside the jar containing the honey of many insects. This event led to a drastic drop in sales and strong dissatisfaction among consumer associations: it was these associations that sounded the alarm via their social networks.

According to the analyzes carried out by the worms found inside the jars, it is an insect which will more and more often infest the hives which produce honey, in particular organic honey. The owners of the farms justify themselves by saying that, precisely because they are organic farms, no chemicals are used and therefore it is possible that insects hide among the cells in an attempt to seek food. food or shelter.

They are essentially harmless insects for the human organism and therefore, even if they are ingested, nothing serious happens. In addition, the lawyers hired by the companies in question reiterate that this honey is much healthier than others which, apparently perfect and healthy, on the contrary contain a lot of chemicals that cause serious damage to the human body. Therefore, experts advise paying close attention to labels when buying, in order to realize what substances are actually contained in the product we want to buy.
