"Arturo Carrillo, the Mexico-based coordinator of the international Honey Authenticity Network, which has conducted tests on UK supermarket honey indicating adulteration, said: ?The UK is flooded with very cheap adulterated honey imported from China. What is disappointing is that the British authorities have been very, very much reluctant to accept and address this tremendous problem."
Nigel considering your entire posed article, (which the above paragraph is only a portion of it), I suspect we may have the same problem here also. We have discussed the problem with imported honey from other countries such as China, here on the forum a few years ago which left me astounded. If I'm not mistaken Bill from Australia, "eltalia", had posted comments on the matter as well.
