HONEY from China

what type of antibiotics?

it doesn't say Made in China on the label.

that why as consumers we have to do some digging.

and I agree...support local bee farmers!

:bee1: If it runs like syrup and the price is cheap then you ain't getting honey for your money. And serves you right for being a cheapskate.

actually 9teen it's not about being a cheapskate.

if you had bothered to read the rest of the posts, you'd see that. But carry on posting nonsensical shit when the real issue is deception & fraud on a worldwide level.

one that has wider implications.

Who buys their honey from China.

Buy local, support the beekeepers in your area.

I keep organic honeybees and can tell you that the honey from China is not honey at all.

They fill hive feeders with HFCS, the bees collected the syrup & store it in the comb along with actual nectar they collect. What you end up with is a product that is 90% high fructose corn syrup, 10% honey.

You also cannot imagine the toxins present on the little bit of actual nectar the Chinese bees do collect.

Always buy locally produced honey, if possible.

If people are taking honey for allergies, they need to eat honey from their own local area for it to be effective.

So, this thread is very helpful!

another idiotic response

From today's paper. This is all getting silly, what with meat and milk and honey. Eat local, people, and know exactly where the food you eat comes from. You'd almost think they were trying to poison us. 'All Chinese honey ordered off shelves'

:indoorx: Yes it is about people being cheapskates and expecting something for nothing. Like for instance buying 4 beefburgers for £1 and then being upset because they contain horse meat. Or putting your savings into dodgy investments because they promise you an extra 1% return and then being upset when you lose the lot. It takes two to tango you know.

I don't buy anything from China (sorry Walmart) not even dog food.

agreed.

this is what raised the alarm for me.

On the front label it says:

100% Organic CANADA Grade A Honey

so I bought it.

when I got home to make my honey/lemon tea to fight off this nasty flu going around... for some reason I decided to check the BACK of the label to see if any other nasty ingredients were in there.

(should have done this at the store)

and I seen MADE IN AUSTRALIA


wtf? i THOUGHT this was Canadian honey (canada being a major exporter of honey I believed it was honey from my own country)

and thats when I followed the google trail of China flooding our markets with GRADE A SHIT under the falsity of another country that canada has a FREE TRADE agreement with.

Not sure how it works in USA.

I know one thing ...I ain't putting that nasty shit in my honey/lemon tea ...

its 100% fraud.

If people are taking honey for allergies, they need to eat honey from their own local area for it to be effective.

I just read that Honey coming from China is actually corn syrup with Tetracycline added to it .. (because real honey has natural antibiotic properties)

this is an old article about it [link to www.foodsafetynews.com]

it figures that with all these disappearing bees, that these asshats would find a way to fool the food inspectors.


remember the melamine incident???

its a honey conspiracy!! only buy from local bee farmers.

and real honey should look cloudy NOT like corn syrup
