> If there are banana residues in a jar of honey (or in wax used for cosmetics or cut comb), and it is not listed as in ingredient on the jar, and someone has an allergic reaction to it, the producer will have problems.

I am sorry, but I find this scenario to be an extreme fantasy. The likelihood of banana residue wending its way into the honey and causing a fatal allergic reaction is on par with being struck by a comet. 

If a person has an allergic reaction, the first thing they are going to think of is pollen, in any case. Your honey has pollen in it, doesn't it? Is THAT on the label?
