Customs officials in France have issued a warning against the consumption of so-called 'aphrodisiac honey' that has been illegally imported and mixed with medicines used to treat erectile dysfunction. The alert comes after a surge in seizures of these products in 2024, with a notable increase in recent years.
One significant incident involved the discovery of 860,000 adulterated products weighing a total of 13 metric tonnes at the port of Marseille in a shipment from Malaysia. Additionally, more than 238 kilograms were seized in a separate investigation.
