The Ministry of Health in New Zealand put into place a set of
regulations at the end of 1996, requiring that products containing
pollen, royal jelly and propolis have warnings about possible
allergic reactions.
Naturally, the beekeepers and others who sell such products were up
in arms, as we did not feel there was scientific justification for
the imposition of the requirements.
Well, in a real David and Goliath outcome, the regulations are to be
revoked! You can read the report of the Parliamentary Select
Committee that made the decision at:
