Reference for Avodah Zarah 78:16

והדבש: דבש למאי ניחוש לה אי משום איערובי מיסרא סרי אי משום בישולי עובדי כוכבים נאכל כמו שהוא חי אי משום גיעולי עובדי כוכבים נותן טעם לפגם הוא ומותר:

Honey. Honey, what should he be concerned about? If because of the possibility that something [forbidden] may have been mixed with it, this would cause it to go rancid! If it is on account of [the prohibition against] all things cooked by a non-Jew, it is something which is eaten in its raw state! If on account of the rule that vessels used by non-Jews must be scoured [before they may be used] by a Jew, it is an instance where a worsening flavour is imparted and it is therefore permitted.
