Animal Antibiotic Found in Honey
The Independent (UK), 2/2/2006
Traces of an antibiotic were found in honey sold in the UK, according to
a Which? report. Tests showed residues of tylosin in three out of 20
jars. The antibiotic is licensed to treat animals but not bees. The
consumer organisation said the antibiotic posed no health threat but
that honey should be a pure food.
