Does Honey Need a Hechsher?

Raw unflavored honey which is 100% pure and filtered may be used without a Hechsher.

However, retail size honey often goes through heating which can be a problem when using shared equipment. It is therefore recommended to purchase honey only with a Hechsher.

One must ensure that no other ingredients are added like alcohol and sweeteners.

Additionally, the honey needs to be filtered very well from any pieces of the bees that can get mixed in it.
