Contaminated honey, who knew. My bottle says produced in USA, but now I'm wondering.

On the subject of watering down...I discovered an inexpensive Italian white wine witha delightful
fruity flavour, very crisp apple. Told H that it was so thin though, that it tasted as though it had been watered down. It had never occurred to me before that such a thing might be done. Regardless, I went back to the store last week to order a case. On the window was a notice that another Italian white, had been totally recalled as it was found to have been thinned with water. It was the same vintner. The story was that someone had left a water tap running 'accidentally' (I guess into each and every barrel) during the bottling process. Hah!! said I. And yet once discovered, they still shipped it out??
Still, I'm going to pick up my case of its brother today.

Another reason to know your farmers and buy from them....
I get all my honey from either friends that still have hives or farmers I know and trust. I don't think I've bought commercial honey from a store in over 10 years.

I used to belong to a food coop and one of our members sold honey and it was later said that it was cut with corn syrup. I only ordered once because I didn't like it. I always try to buy local and some of the beekeepers are so into the bees, I don't think they would do that.

But producers of other foods we buy purchase this honey to use in their production of say bread, >>>
candies, etc. I recently bought some candy corn from Long's (not Brachts, my ususal favorite which they were no longer carrying) made by a company I never heard of called Golden Gate Candy (I suspect it was from overseas) The candy was nasty! I also purchased some bulk candy (used to be Brachts as well) It was packaged to mimic Brachts but was made in Argentina (maybe via China)I'm really getting cynical after reading "The China Price" by Alexandra Haney, an economist.

A big story here in Florida, Chinese dry wall causing serious damage to homes and making them
unliveable. Besides the terrible smell, there is corrosion of copper wiring, A/C's and the owner's electronic equipment. People who live in the houses or have moved out report respiratory problems, kids with chronic nose bleeds and other health problems. It hasn't been cited as a health hazard yet, but it probably will.
The dry wall was imported during a shortage in this country, between 2004 and 2006. It was used in new construction and rennovations. Scary story.
