Is it true that using a metal spoon to take some honey from its container will spoil the rest of the honey?

Recently, I went to a shop to get some honey and the salesman there told me to never use a metal spoon to take the honey from its container as it will spoil the rest of the honey in the container. I was told to use either a plastic or a wooden spoon.





So is there really a problem using metal spoon in honey?Is it true that using a metal spoon to take some honey from its container will spoil the rest of the honey?
I've always used a metal spoon and never had a problem. However, honey spoons are always made of wood, at least the ones I've seen. I think the reason for the suggestion is that honey is considered acidic and the acid might corrode the spoon. I haven't heard or read anything that says you can't use a metal spoon though. So, just do what works for you except don't give honey to a child under 12 months as it's toxic to them. That's the only honey rule I know.

In terms of taste or nutritional value?





As far as taste goes, it does not appear to change after using a metal spoon. I only buy unpasteurized honey from my local bee keeper an I always use a metal spoon to add to my tea.





Not sure about nutritional value though, I would be interested to find out.
I have been using a metal spoon in my honey all my life (over 40 years anyway) and never had a problem with it.


I think they just wanted to sell you one of those little honey dipping wands.
