“Traditional upper respiratory therapy products like lozenges and cough drops are all sugar based and are nothing more than boiled sugar candies with added health ingredients,” stated John Rowe, President of Island Abbey Foods Ltd.  “Our Honibe™ - Honey Lozenges™ are a 100% pure dried honey lozenge with no sugar added. We are excited to offer consumers our one of a kind all natural cough drop to sooth sore throats and provide cough relief.“

The Honibe™ brand has garnered international attention in recent months for the product the Honey Drop™. The Honey Drop™ was the first product launched under the Honibe™ brand and is an individual serving (one teaspoon / 5 g.) of 100% pure dried honey without any additives. It is ideal for sweetening tea or coffee. Simply drop into a hot beverage and stir. You have all of the natural honey flavour without the usual honey mess.  Most recently, the Honey Drop™ won two SIAL D’or 2010 Awards at the world’s largest food tradeshow in Paris, France and will now be one of nine finalists competing for best new food product in the world this October.
