Hi Guys,

That's a very interesting article. The author lists a series of steps that
resulted in the contaiminated product. I would recommend that everyone
review those steps and evaulate their own management practices. I have
worked for commercial outfits that routinely violate all of the steps listed
and have done so for more than a decade!

It's obvious that the Chinese will get their act together and their honey
will soon meet international standards. The international ban on their honey
has forced them to clean up their act. But it's just the beginning for
scutinizing hoeny worldwide. Regulatory agencies are not only looking for
unhealthy honey but also for trade violators. 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.

Regards
Dennis
