Indian passage for adulteration

Manufacturing of adulterant syrups has begun closer home

- 

We tracked down a factory in Jaspur, Uttarakhand that manufactures syrup to adulterate honey

We learnt that the code word for it is 'all pass' syrup

We made contact and procured a sample of this 'all pass' syrup

It will pass all stipulated tests for honey purity, said the owner

JASPUR IS a small municipality on the foothills of Himalayas in Uttarakhand’s Uddham Singh Nagar district. A handful of agro-processing units had propped up in recent years in this agriculture-dominant region. Nothing out of place about that. But the beekeepers we spoke to earlier to find the root of their problem—dipping honey prices because of adulteration—had mentioned Jaspur in many conversations.
