Hi Brian and all

Some years ago, before Checkmite was approved in Canada,  coumaphous  
was detected in some product(I think honey but am not sure).  The  
source was tracked down to plastic frames that were coated with wax  
in the US before being imported.  I remember the story but not the  
details.  Maybe someone can fill in the gaps.
