Can sugar syrups be adulterated in honey that can go undetected under Indian testing protocols?

CSE investigated this and found that manufacturers in China are openly selling High Fructose syrups which they claim can pass the C3 and C4 tests, tests that are mandated by India's FSSAI. And these syrups are openly sold in websites like alibaba.com and tradeindia.com. CSE had also found that between To crack this, CSE contacted syrup manufacturers and exporters in China to see if these syrups could be brought into India for testing. Two Chinese companies, Wuhu Deli foods and CNNfoods were contacted if they could provide us with syrups that could beat the Indian tests. These companies which are based in Anhui province of China got back saying that they could supply us with the magic syrup that beats all the Indian tests. Both CNNfoods and WUHU Deli sent CSE the samples but we could take delivery of only the ones from CNNfoods because of the logistical issues. The samples sent by CNNFoods proved to be a goldmine of information especially when it came to bypassing the Indian standards. But more on this later in the video. In the meantime, beekeepers in Uttar Pradesh and Haryana had told CSE researchers that the this magic syrup was being manufactured in India. They told us that this sweet syrup manufactured in India was called the “All Pass Syrup, meaning it could pass all the testing protocols of India. They pointed us to a locality called Jaspur in Uttrakhand’s Udham Singh Nagar district. CSE contacted a seller in Jaspur, who agreed to give us a sample of the “All Pass Syrup. The seller told us that this syrup could pass all tests to check for C3 and C4 adulterants in India but will not stand the scrutiny of NMR tests. One lesson learned from our interaction with the Chinese and the India sellers was that these syrups cost a fraction of real honey. While a beekeeper spends over Rs 100 to produce one Kg of honey, these sugar adulterants could cost as little as Rs 48 to Rs 70 per kg, making it a cheap but dangerous alternative to the real thing. With the Chinese and Indian syrups in hand it was time to check whether these samples would pass the tests mandated by Food Safety and Standards Authority of India. Was this the syrup that the big brands were using to cheat the Indian honey tests? CSE spiked six samples of raw and processed honey with this fake honey/sugary syrups from China and India. The processed brand of honey that we used had already passed all testing protocols in India and examination using NMR. The results astonished us. All the spiked honey samples except one passed the Indian testing protocols for C3 and C4 sugars. The one that failed was the sample that contained 25% raw honey spiked with 75% Chinese syrup. These tests confirmed to us that honey can be adulterated with sugar syrups and will go undetected under the FSSAI's testing protocols. Now we know that companies can mix at least 50% sugar in their honey and this will go undetected under the Indian testing guidelines. Could this be the reason why 9 out of the 13 brands passed the Indian testing protocols but failed during the NMR tests. Only two Indian brands passed NMR the gold standard for testing adulterants.
