What it is

Grade A honey is a liquid sweetener produced by honey bees from the nectar of flowers. It is collected, filtered, and graded based on its clarity, consistency, flavor, and absence of defects. The 'Grade A' designation indicates it meets the highest quality standards set by the USDA.

Why it's used

Honey is primarily used as a sweetener in a wide variety of foods, including baked goods, cereals, and beverages. Its natural sweetness and distinct flavor profile make it a popular choice for energy bars, snacks, and sauces, where it can also contribute to texture and moisture.

Health notes

Honey is Generally Recognized As Safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use as a food ingredient. It is a natural source of sugars and contains trace amounts of vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants. The Joint FAO/WHO Expert Committee on Food Additives (JECFA) has evaluated honey and established specifications for its identity and quality. While generally safe for adults, honey should not be given to infants under one year of age due to the risk of infant botulism.

Allergen info

Honey is not one of the nine major allergens recognized by the FDA. It does not contain gluten.
