Trevor said, I was surprised to see that the US is still using fume boards.  Here in Australia they were banned many years ago due to residues from the fumes being found in honey.

In the USA and Canada there is no Maximum Residues limit (MRL) for butyric acid in honey. Few years ago the Canadian Food Safety agency (CFIA) wanted to regulate it but after discussion with the industry and proofing its use in other products they dropped there request.

Personally I don't like to use it due to skin irritation and strong lasting smell.
