HONEY & HONEY PRODUCTS TRAINING

Home → Trainings → HONEY & HONEY PRODUCTS TRAINING

Processed honey available in the market must undergo comprehensive testing not only for quality parameters mandated by regulators but also for contaminants and adulterations—ensuring the utmost authenticity. By entrusting this task to an accredited honey testing laboratory in Gurgaon, consumers can be assured of accessing the finest quality honey that truly enriches their health. FARE Labs’ advanced training program provides both theoretical insights and hands-on experience in modern honey testing techniques, including LC-EI-IR/MS technology and complementary methods. Participants will learn how to analyze a broad range of quality, contaminant, and adulteration parameters, ensuring their testing processes meet stringent regulatory standards.
