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.

It might not expire but it does crystallise over time, also there may be natural extras like small pieces of pollen that weren’t filtered out
