To the List, Medhat has made IMO The CRITICAL STATEMENTS by writing, "If a reader who is not familiar with the labeling regulations, he would assume that the Canadian Honey having problems with antibiotic contamination...." and..."This is (an)unfortunate situation that the label does not reflect the percentage of blending of various sources of honey in the jar." (IMO)Such circumstances as that pointed out by Dr. Nasr is exactly the case with the general public and the press. The public does not know beans about labeling requirements and I dare say that most do not read the label any farther than the word "HONEY"; and, they rely upon the Canadian Food Inspection Agency in Canada and the Food and Drug Administration and the USDA here in the USA to make sure that the packer is providing a healthy food product, honey. Thing is that the packers do not want to put the percentage of foreign honey on their labels as it would be easier for the customer to see and understand that there is foreign honey in those jars. One good example: Sue Bee has labeling on their jars of "North American Honey", that says "may contain honey from Canada and the United States"; take that to the bank North American Beekeepers!
