In a new regulatory action to protect public health and combat food fraud, food inspection teams at the Qalyubia Health Directorate seized 100 kg of a product packaged and marketed as "honey" at an unlicensed sales outlet belonging to a honey packaging company, before it was released to the market.

Laboratory tests confirmed the product was a mixture of commercial glucose and sucrose, not genuine honey, constituting food fraud and consumer deception.

The campaign was conducted under the directives of the Qalyubia Health Deputy Minister and the Director of Preventive Medicine, intensifying inspections of markets and food establishments to ensure product safety and compliance with health standards.
