Arrange the sentences into the correct order.

Put the sentences in the correct order:

  1. Armed with these results, regulators can pull adulterated batches from shelves and fine the suppliers responsible, giving honest beekeepers a fairer market and shoppers a more trustworthy label.
  2. One such method examines the ratio of specific carbon isotopes in the honey, since sugar syrups derived from corn or sugarcane leave a distinct isotopic signature that pure honey lacks.
  3. For this reason, food safety laboratories rely on chemical testing rather than sensory judgment to determine whether a jar of honey is genuine.
  4. Detecting this fraud by taste or appearance alone is nearly impossible, since skilled adulterators blend syrups that mimic honey's color, viscosity, and sweetness closely enough to fool an ordinary shopper.
  5. Honey sold in supermarkets is sometimes quietly diluted with cheap sugar syrups, a practice that cheats customers who believe they are paying for a pure natural product.
