The National Beekeepers Cooperative Society Ltd. has issued a formal response to a viral social media graphic raising concerns about adulterated honey products in the Dominican market. The cooperative organization released a strong statement condemning all aspects of honey adulteration—from production and distribution to retail sales—reaffirming its unwavering commitment to preserving honey’s status as a pure, natural product.
The Cooperative confirmed it has received and formally documented specific concerns regarding certain honey brands currently available to consumers. In response to these allegations, the organization has initiated active engagement with relevant regulatory bodies to ensure all honey products comply with established quality and safety protocols.
Emphasizing its core priorities, the Cooperative highlighted three fundamental commitments: ensuring consumer safety, protecting legitimate beekeepers who maintain authentic production methods, and safeguarding the reputation of the Dominican Honey Brand as a mark of quality and authenticity.
The statement concluded with a call for enhanced transparency throughout the industry, advocating for rigorous testing procedures and strict adherence to national standards. These measures, the Cooperative asserts, are essential for maintaining public confidence in the honey industry and preserving the integrity of this valued agricultural sector.
