What is this? Honey should not have too much of a natural substance called HMF. Too much HMF can form if honey is heated too much or stored too long.
What's happening? Some honey from Croatia sold in Slovenia had more HMF than allowed. This is a rule-break, not a safety danger.
Does this affect me? If you bought honey in Slovenia recently, check if it is from Croatia.
What should I do? If you are unsure, ask your pharmacist or doctor before eating it.
