I'm sorry, I should have put my thoughts out clearer. The food grade paint was what I was talking about possibly containing lead.
Since corners are rounded off so to speak in order to sell the USA a cheap product and all kinds of very important safety rules have been broken already by china, I personally think the USDA should place holds on imported chinese honey and do some random tests on the paint to answer the question of the safety of the paint.
  Maybe it's fine,but just maybe it is not, I would like to know for sure.
