Does Honey Need A Hechsher? With Rabbi Menachem Genack

so I came to OU headquarters today 40 Rector Street and I see they're setting up this beautiful honey display dip the Apple in the honey before USANA we have this arid zombas and I was wondering these Honeys don't look like plain regular honey this is creamed honey this minute of any other flavors this has a flavor lavender creamed honey cocoa cream honey I don't know if I'm pronouncing this properly do these need a hexer does regular honey need a hexer um who can we ask to find out at the OU kosher headquarters to give us an answer to this question so I found Rebecca neck he was kind enough to sit down up again because the CEO of oh you kosher I've been working at this for before from before I was born I could say probably um most of us dip the Apple in regular plain honey but I see I'm here at the OU headquarters today and they have all kinds of Honeys I don't know I guess like people who enjoy pumpkin honey and coconut honey your artisanal Honeys do they need a hexer there's regular I need a hectare so I see they all have the OU so regular honey does not need a texture because it's generally it's what we call a group one ingredient knows it's it's generally innocuous there is a honey which is not culture called Loyal honey but the regular honey is kosher even though it comes from a b which you cannot even be but these Honeys do need a haircut in general if it's a honey that has mixed other ingredients flavors and so and whatever the ingredients are you have to make sure that all those ingredients are Kosher if we can act what type of honey you dip in your Apple on this here just regular honey but I'm wishing everybody Activa a good sweet and wonderful gift amazing [Music]
