Ban put on our honey
25 Mar 2004

Australian honey has been removed from supermarkets in Canada after the country's food inspection agency said it contained a group of antibiotics known as nitrofurans. The honey was being sold was being sold under the No Name brand. It was mixed with Argentine honey.

Nitrofurans are banned from Australian honey. But Federal Agriculture Minister Warren Truss admitted that a testing system to find the antibiotics is still being established.
