TECHNOLOGY AND INNOVATION
Built on proprietary patents, HoneyCert® is poised to become a benchmark for honey traceability and origin certification. With a team of highly qualified engineers and technicians, as well as extensive expertise in designing anti-spoofing and anti-jamming technologies, HoneyCert® ensures full transparency and traceability for consumers while supporting beekeepers in adding value to their products and tackling honey fraud.
HONEY FRAUD
Honey counterfeiting is a serious and growing issue in Europe. According to the European Anti-Fraud Office (OLAF), a significant percentage of honey imported from non-EU countries is adulterated—often diluted with low-cost sugar syrups—compromising product quality and consumer protection. Choosing locally produced honey offers multiple benefits, including authenticity and transparency, a shorter supply chain, support for the local economy, and health advantages.
THE SOLUTION
HoneyCert® allows consumers to track the origin of honey by scanning a QR code on each jar, which contains a unique and patented satellite-based marking (including position, date, and time). Thanks to satellite technology, this service enables consumers to make informed and transparent purchases by geolocating and tracking all stages of honey production, safeguarding local honey. By scanning the QR code, the HoneyCert® system also provides a digital showcase, sharing the story of the honey and its producers.
WHY CHOOSE HoneyCert®?
HoneyCert® offers reliable and patented satellite geolocation, geographical traceability for a transparent supply chain, and enhancement of beekeepers’ work. A simple QR code scan reveals the journey of honey from producer to table, protecting both beekeepers and consumers from fraud and counterfeit products while ensuring security and transparency.
