This is of interest for those using honey in your
wines.

Patrick J. Fitzgerald, United States Attorney for
the
Northern District of Illinois, announced on
Tuesday,
May 27th, the arrests of two executives of Arthur
J.
Wolff, Inc. and charged them will purchasing honey
contaminated with CAP (Chloramphenicol) from
China.
The press release is at:
http://www.usdoj.gov/usao/iln/pr/chi.../pr0527_02.pdf

It appears that when Wolff customers rejected
orders
because of CAP contamination, Wolff sold the honey
to
customers who didn't care about the contamination.
These customers were identified only as being in
Texas
and Michigan.

The moral of this story is always ask about the
country
of origin of the honey and do not buy honey that
came
from China.
