How we scored it
Yeast fermentation of honey, filtered; sugars, yeast metabolites and water are all fermentation or bee-derived. 1.0.
What counts. ISO 16128-2 scores the atoms that remain in the final ingredient. Reagents, solvents, catalysts and protecting groups used during manufacture leave no mass behind and are not counted.
Where it comes from
