HONEY & HONEY PRODUCTS TRAINING

Home → Trainings → HONEY & HONEY PRODUCTS TRAINING

Honey, often touted as nature’s sweetest gift, holds a special place in our diets and cultures. However, ensuring its purity and quality is paramount to its integrity and health benefits. Honey testing serves as a crucial process in determining the authenticity and safety of honey and Honey products.  FARE Labs is an accredited (ISO/IEC 17025:2017) honey testing and analysis laboratory.


FARE Labs’ advanced training program on testing of Honey and Honey Products provides both theoretical insights and hands-on experience in modern honey testing techniques.  The adulterants in honey is tested by LC-EI-IR/MS technology and other complementary methods. Participants will learn how to analyse a broad range of quality, contaminant, and adulteration parameters, ensuring their testing processes meet stringent regulatory standards. (FSSR, 2011 Clause No: 2.8.3.1).  It is worth mentioning that the training programme offered by FARE Labs is one of the best Honey and Honey Products Training Course in Gurugram.o: 2.8.3.1)
