I just bought a jar of “100% pure honey” with an expiration date of 2027. What gives? I thought honey never expires.

Yes it says “expiration date 2027” not just “best before”. There is only one ingredient which is pure honey so it has no additives. Is it even possible for honey to expire and under what circumstances? It is famous for being a food that supposedly doesn’t expire ever.

Depending on your country’s laws, food significantly changing its organoleptic properties may count as spoiling.

Honey and jam will crystallize over time, turning into a thick sugary substance which is perfectly fine for consumption, but no longer flows like fresh ones.
