This gets each minute more interesting. Thanks to one of Ghislain links I
can see this SouthAmerican GM Issue is been building up from Germany for a
long time.

*EXTRACT:* Honey from Central and South America carries the greatest risk,
because plenty of GM soy is growing there. At the same time these countries
produce the majority of the world's honey supply... this is dated january
2009, two years before the Advocate General non binding opinion. But if one
read the article it is possible to see that canadian, german and other honey
are also "contaminated" but they do not get to the Extract.

Why they have to explote this bomb now? Just to lower the price of honey
when we "wetbacks" need to sell our honey? I hate non tariff barriers.

I have also found another Buzz of GM in Honey. It started in 2000
http://www.connectotel.com/gmfood/honey.html (many interesting readings in
this link) in UK
and sort of ended in 2003 with an article in Bee World 84(3): 107–111 (2003)

Detection of transgenic
soyabean material in pollen
substitute and honey samples
REINHOLD SIEDE, RALPH BÜCHLER ANDALFRED SCHULZ
Pollen substitutes are used extensively by German beekeepers and
soyabeans are a predominant ingredient in some of these products.
Around 40% of global soyabean production is harvested from GMvarieties.
Thus, pollen substitutes as well as the honey produced by
honey bee colonies fed with them might contain GM-soyabean
particles. We checked this assumption and found that 23 honeys
from 389 samples contained powdered soyabeans. Eleven of the
soya-containing honeys and four of 11 pollen substitutes tested in
this study contained transgenic material. We did not elucidate the
contamination pathway of the honeys, but we consider that these
pollen substitutes may well be the source of the GM residues in the
honeys.
