Dennis said "I think American honey will
soon be routinely inspected.

Are we ready? Or will Chinese honey be labeled as the clean stuff and
American honey be labeled as unfit? It would only take one bad incident."

The larger packers have started testing the honey for contaminates that are
'rumored' to be used by beekeepers.  I understand that one carload has all
ready been returned to the beekeeper because of Tylosin contamination.
Other not-approved antibodies and miticides are also on 'the list'.

I am pleased that private industry is taking the lead.
