A couple of years back we had some Chinese foundation offered to Australians at a cheap price. One of our prominent equipment manufacturers had it analysed and it was adulterated with other waxes.
I believe it has been coming in for use in rolled candles and has not found it's way into the beekeeping side as all beekeepers were alerted to the fact that it was adulterated. Not sure what the last foundation used in these rolled candles is like. I have not heard of anyone getting an analysis in recent times.
