> At this point, I am not aware of MRLs, but we can expect that regulators will (rightly) begin to look more closely at this drug.
In Europe, the situation is different:
NO Maximum Residue Limits (MRLs) have been set for antibiotics in honey or even proposed.
EU regulates honey under the Council Directive 2001/110/EC. The standard for antibiotics in
food stipulates that each antibiotic must have an MRL before it can be used on a foodproducing
species. But there are no MRLs for antibiotics in honey -- which means the EU does
not allow use of antibiotics for treatment of honeybees.
