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.
