Nitrofuran

[Terry]

I got a call from an acquaintance from Australia today inquiring about the Canadian situation with Nitrofuran Contaminated honey.

I asked him what Nitrofuran was. I suppose that you know just as much as I do on this subject.

Any way here are links to the latest on this story. Aparently an Australian television company did a story on this subject the other day and I think that there is a lot of fear mongering going on there.

here are some links on the subject

Wow! that is news to me.

The previous report I heard, in Edmonton, was that two drums in a
containerload to Britain was the extent of it, and that the Argentines had
cut off exports until they figure it all out. The story was that just a few
Argentine beekeepers were using a home remedy and that it was not
widespread.

I wonder what to think after this?

Anyhow, ANYONE WHO THINKS HE CAN GET AWAY USING A 'SECRET FORMULA', PLEASE THINK AGAIN.

It only takes one or two bad apples to ruin exports for an entire nation.

This only goes to reinforce what we have seen to be the new reality:

* Keep your nose clean. Don't think your are smarter than the detectives
* Keep separate batches as you extract,
* mark them clearly,
* track where they go, and
* keep good records
* Support and participate in the COFFs initiative
