ABSTRACT
Groeb Farms, a major U.S. honey supplier, was involved in the nation’s largest food fraud: an incident that eventually forced the company into bankruptcy. is honey laundering case involved a German company, ALW, that illegally imported cheap and sometimes adulterated Chinese honey. While the honey itself is not illegal, mislabeling the product and avoiding tari©s is a di©erent story. ALW had its o·ces in China use independent brokers to procure honey that eventually became honey “not from China.”
