No source addresses Benson Honey Farms' processing, so the claim that it is never heated can be neither confirmed nor refuted. The only Benson-named source concerns Benson Bakery in Minnesota, a different business, and it states it has no confirmed information on processing; general sources say most commercial honey is heated, which is a nearby topic, not a contradiction.

This claim is about the present, so it is judged as of the day it was checked.

What we found

Context. No source covers Benson Honey Farms or its heating practices, so the claim's central assertion goes unchecked.

Context. The Benson Bakery listing (Benson, Minnesota) is a different business and states it has no confirmed information on whether its honey is raw or heated.[2]

Context. General honey-processing sources report that most commercial honey is heated, but this describes the industry in general, not the claimed producer, so it does not contradict the claim.[1][3][4]
