I would like to know where and who the “antibiotic-free "control group" are. I have not heard of them before.
The 76 honey samples tested by our national consumer group ’60 millions de consommateurs' found a multitude of pesticides and antibiotics including chloramphénicol, banned since 1995, chlortétracycline et la tetracycline were also mentioned. In total nine antibiotics were detected.
I can send the PDF (in French) off list.
