I’m guessing this is a US thing? At least I’ve never heard of it before as a european and I’m pretty sure it wouldn’t be allowed to be sold as honey here
Same, and I eat a fair amount of honey. Even when I buy cheap stuff on the road, it’s 100% honey. Maybe there’s some Dollar General store brand that’s severely discounted and cut, but I’ve never seen it.
Home base is coastal, but I travel all over the US for work. I spend between 30-50% of the year on the road. I admit, not a ton of that time is in middle-of-nowhere Wyoming.
Don’t forget this one: Is it actually honey? Honey flavored corn syrup doesn’t help.

Yeah, us Canadians have to check the label to make sure the honey is Canadian, otherwise its usually 50% corn syrup.
Another easy tell is if you don’t mix it for a couple months it splits, and all the corn syrup floats to the top.
American here … we’re really sorry. We don’t like it neither; but the corporations, you see? they need their profits.
Another American here … I have literally never seen honey that’s been stepped on.
What brands do this?

Are you on the coasts or in the flyovers?

It is a thing. I think it started with “pancake syrup” being corn syrup with brown color and artifical maple flavor. You know, Big Buttersworth

They said local honey, not factory made junk.
I would hope the roadside stand in front of the apiary has real honey and not corn syrup. But you never know…
