Here is a site you should all keep abreast of in Europe for product
contamination. Looks Like joyal jelly has come up contaminated in Germany with
country of origin Vietnam via the netherlands via Spain. Contaminating substances
were chlorampenicol and trimethoprim in the royal jelly powder.
So reading this knowing the jelly is dried, I would also suspect IMPOV
actual royal jelly from same sources. So ask questions of your large scale
suppliers and sourcrces obtained from. Especially you organic beekeepers not wanting
chemicals to hurt queens being reared from grafting with such.
