Our take

CleanPlate review

Forest honey: 82 g of natural sugar per 100 g

Country Delight Wild Forest Honey is a honey in a 475 g jar; the ingredient line, read from the listing, is multi-floral honey. A serving is 14 g and the panel is printed per 100 g.

CleanPlate scores it EB4. The E for nutrition is low: almost no credited protein, fibre or micronutrients per 100 g. The B for ingredients reflects a single ingredient, honey, which is a concentrated sweetener rather than a whole food, and almost no additives. The 4 for risk comes mainly from free sugar (82 g per 100 g) and calories (329 kcal per 100 g).

Claims vs reality

What the pack says, checked against the ingredient list and nutrition panel.

  • On the pack

    “Minimum 15000 Pollen/g”

    Be careful

    A pollen count is a lab figure that CleanPlate cannot check from the pack.

  • On the pack

    “NMR Tested”

    Be careful

    A purity test is claimed but no result is printed.

  • Product name

    “Wild Forest Honey”

    Partly true

    The ingredient line reads multi-floral honey and names no forest or wild source.

A closer look

Does the label add up?

Multi-floral honey (contains naturally occurring sugar), read from the listing because the pack's ingredient panel is cut off.

Per 100 g: 329 kcal, 0 g fat of which 0 g saturated, 82 g sugar of which 0 g added, 0.2 g protein, 0 mg sodium. The panel header says per 21 g serving but its values match 14 g, so per 100 g is used. 329 kcal matches the Atwater sum. The ingredient line is not pack-verified, so the score is provisional. Net 475 g.

Common misconceptions

Myth: "Natural sugar is not sugar"

Honey is 82 g of sugar per 100 g and counts as free sugar, like syrup.

Myth: "NMR tested means pure"

The pack prints no test result; a test claim is not a result.

Smarter ways to eat it

Swap, do not add

Use a spoon of honey in place of sugar, not on top of it.

Measure the spoon

A 14 g spoon is about 11.5 g of sugar.
