WASHINGTON - The U.S. Food and Drug Administration was cited as saying on Wednesday that nearly 185,000 pounds of honey imports were seized in Texas because of contamination with a human antibiotic banned from U.S. food products." Let's see...that's about $1850.00 that's not going to the National Honey Board, if it was going to be sent at all! I wonder where the shipment originated and who the importers and buyers were. Having had so much publicity on this sort of thing in the last year you would think that the importer/buyer would get an analysis prior to purchase. I also wonder how the news services will handle this since there is so much going on in the world news right now. This may be buried somewhere in your local paper and the TV folks will probably not even cover it unless it is really brought to their attention, hint...hint. We have talked about this problem before; this is one of many arguments that a beekeeper can use to promote local honey. Chuck Norton Reidsville, NC
