>>Has anyone received an email claiming to have purchased contaminated honey with your label? <...>  Merrick, NY 1156"

I used to live about 15 miles from Merrick...  It's a somewhat affluent, suburban area.

>>...it was a small dollar amount so I shipped a container of honey.

I would have demanded the contaminated honey back before sending a replacement.  It would help resolve right away if this person is just looking for a free jar of honey.  If the contamination was real, it might make sense to do a little investigating as to its source.

I have never received claims of contamination in my honey but, since I also sell through some third parties, I thought about placing shrinkable plastic bands on my jars.  It's not a full proof way of assuring that no one else has tampered with the jar (and then installed a new band) but it's some control.
