Detecting added syrup
You determine whether sugar syrup has been mixed into the honey before the batch is dispatched.
You receive the result as a single classification and decide accordingly.
The result is not a table or chart requiring interpretation. One of three classifications is reported and the step to be taken follows from it.
You decide without delay
A batch reported as genuine continues to dispatch; a batch reported as questionable is set aside for further examination.
The assessment rests on measurement
Added syrup cannot be distinguished by visual inspection or taste. The decision no longer depends on the experience of the operator.
You contain the risk at source
Identifying a non-conforming batch at intake is markedly less costly than a recall after packing.
A written result makes commercial discussion easier.
Evidence based on measurement moves the discussion away from an exchange of claims.
Common ground is established with the supplier
The result presents the same information to both parties; the discussion proceeds on shared evidence.
A buyer enquiry can be answered
When authenticity is questioned, evidence is available to present and the consignment is not held.
Only the affected batch is set aside
Rather than rejecting the entire intake, only the non-conforming batch is separated and the remaining volume proceeds normally.
Let us assess the method on your own batches.
We will begin from your intake sources and your existing control processes.
