Natural honey is now included in the list of products requiring mandatory certification, focusing primarily on safety indicators such as toxic elements, oxymethylfurfural, pesticides, and radionuclides. Additionally, honey quality is regulated by GOST 19792–87. While safety impacts human health, quality also affects consumer satisfaction; well-chosen honey brings joy, whereas poor-quality honey can lead to disappointment, making it difficult to consume in recommended amounts.
