What it is

Honey solids are the concentrated sugars and other components of honey, with most of the water removed. This process intensifies the natural sweetness and flavor of honey, making it a more stable ingredient for food manufacturing.

Why it's used

Manufacturers use honey solids primarily as a sweetener and flavor enhancer, adding a distinct honey taste to products. They are found in a variety of foods, including baked goods, snacks, cereals, and processed meats, where they contribute to both taste and browning.

Health notes

Honey solids are generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA when used as a food ingredient. As a concentrated sugar, excessive intake can contribute to increased calorie consumption. JECFA has evaluated honey and established an acceptable daily intake. The WHO has also evaluated honey.

Allergen info

Honey is not one of the FDA's nine major allergens. It does not contain gluten.
