Honey, beyond its nutritional and therapeutic value, can act as a natural bioindicator of environmental quality. In this study, fourteen unifloral and multifloral honeys from northern Algeria were analysed for toxic metals using atomic absorption spectrometry and inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry. Concentrations were as follows: Cu (0.133–1.975 µg/kg), Fe (1.11–28.04 mg/kg), Zn (4.40–26.30 mg/kg), Cd (1.119–39.521 µg/kg), and Pb (11.515–77.216 µg/kg). Some samples, particularly for Cd and Pb, exceeded international safety limits, indicating potential health risks. The results confirm the importance of routine monitoring and highlight honey’s relevance in food safety and environmental surveillance.

Thirty-seven honeys from western Algeria of diverse floral origins were compared with Polish references. All complied with European quality criteria (moisture 14.7–20.9%, acidity 8.0–40.3 meq/kg, HMF 1.8–49.4 mg/kg, proline 266–1201 mg/kg). Sensory evaluation showed significantly higher Polish scores for taste (+1.22 ± 0.42 vs. +0.18 ± 0.52; p = 0.009) and aroma (+0.72 ± 0.43 vs. −0.26 ± 0.36; p = 0.016). Multivariate analysis (65% variance) identified three clusters, with Algerian rosemary and multiflorals achieving consumer acceptance similar to Polish products, highlighting their competitiveness in specialised markets.
