Europe's leading honey producer, Famille Michaud Apiculteurs, has been accused of "Frenchwashing" by giving its customers the false impression that its honey is wholly French when in reality it comes from other countries.

The Famille Michaud produces brands such as Lune de Miel, Miel l'Apiculteur and La Ruche aux Délices, which are sold in supermarkets.
