Honey
I'm not a vegan but shop at a vegan shop in Manchester, UK [ Unicorn
Grocery]. Recently I needed to buy some honey but was told they didn't sell it because it was an animal product. Is this right? Sure, the bees collect nectar and process it to honey but is honey therefore not allowed in a vegan diet? Philip |

Honey
Take a look at: http://www.airborne.co.nz/Enzymes.html Most of the
beneficial enzymes are destroyed by commercial honey processing. Raw honey is considered healthful by many, but is obviously an animal processed product. I take care of the bees and they share.

Thanks
Yes, I normally use individual apiculteur honey from France but ran out.

Honey
Eggs and milk are manufactured not processed a bit of a different issue. I
am not trying to be a purist. If you don't want to eat honey don't eat it. One interesting thing I saw in vegan cook book was a call out for Vegan Honey. As far as I know it is Illegal to sell anything labeled as honey that isn't Honey!
