Artificial Intelligence Against Honey Fraud: A New Technique to Detect Deceptions

A team of Canadian researchers has developed a technique to use artificial intelligence against honey fraud. They claim that their method detects counterfeits in just a few minutes and is also applicable to processed honey. Fraud is one of the biggest enemies of modern beekeeping worldwide. The large number of fraudulent honeys in circulation causes prices to drop, and honest beekeepers cannot compete with these counterfeit products. In light of this situation, the sector is seeking solutions to improve the detection of fake honeys.
