Crystalization does not spoil the honey. Heating the honey can restore it to it's original state, but crystalization is a natural process; all honey crystalizes sooner or later without any impact to the edibility. Honey is one of the few natural foods that will not spoil. Because of its high fructose content and natural antibacterial agents, bacteria cannot survive in honey. As long as honey is kept in a sealed container free of outside moisture, it will keep indefinitely.
