Usually it’s pretty safe to buy the organic honey available so you’ll get real honey. But I think both of those are real
I mean usually it will just say on the container what it is. If it wasn’t honey, it can’t say that it is. Not including diluted honey or things like that.
All honey in the store is real, sort off. The thing with honey to look out for is how the bees actually got the sugars. For cheap honey they just plop a brick of refined sugar in the hive and that taste is the classic cheap honey taste. Ideally, look for single source natural collected honey. Google if there are local beekeepers where you live.
svenska Yle did an article about it a year ago.
Tl;dr a lot of EU honey is in fact not honey, but Finnish honey brands did good in the test. https://yle.fi/a/7-10066097
Even the cheap xtra brand honey, which is 6€/kg, is real.
If possible, look for honey from bee keepers. I’m getting mine from Northern Savonia and the price is about the same as for bulk honeys from market.
Anything in liquid form at this time of year is not worth buying if you want “real honey”. Since its been heated so it stays liquid, and that kills all the good in honey and leaves you with basically sugar with some additives
TIL not all honey is Honey.
What do you mean “genuine honey”? It is honey. Weird question.

Should be legit.
First ones are not, second could be but not sure. Buy Finnish honey with flag key symbol or swan symbol. Finnish honey is always 100% honey.
They should be genuine honey. It would read Hunajavalmiste if there was something else mixed in.
Check the country of origin, the SAM branded ones are usually imported from across half the world.
All Finnish made honey is commonly considered to be real. Some honey from EU could be diluted. Outside of EU… probably diluted.
You can spot an [Avainlippu](https://suomalainentyo.fi/en/membership-and-marks/key-flag-symbol/key-flag-product/) logo on some products. It means it has been manufactured and 50%+ of the product has been produced in Finland.
