The aim of this study was to assess the contact of essential element, iron in different honey samples using atomic adsorption spectrophotometer. Thirty honey samples, classified as natural, branded and farming were collected from hives, farms and local market. Mineral acid mixture sulfuric acid and nitric acid in (1:1 ratio) was used to destroy the organic matter. A significant difference in iron content was found between neutral honey (22.994±4.188), Farming honey (14.49±6.23) and branded honey (16.71±7.8) with (p<0.001). Natural honey contained higher amount of iron content as compared to the farming and branded honey.
