Warning issued on imported honey
http://www.cbc.ca/consumer/story/2006/12/15/honey-recall.html

Certain imported honey products may contain an unauthorized antibiotic, the 
Canadian Food Inspection Agency warned Friday.

The products, imported from Ukraine, may contain chloramphenicol, which 
poses a risk of causing aplastic anemia, a blood disorder. Chloramphenicol 
is not authorized for use in Canada.
The Canadian Food Inspection Agency is recalling certain honey products 
imported from Ukraine.

There have been no reports of illness, the CFIA reports.

The products, distributed in Quebec, Ontario, Manitoba and Alberta, are 
being voluntarily recalled from the marketplace.

The products, which have no English or French translation on their labels, 
have the following UPC and lot numbers:
UPC 4 820013 330019 and lot 010906.
UPC 4 820013 330071 and lot 010906.
UPC 4 820013 330132 and lot 010906.

All the products were sold in 480-gram containers

For more information, consumers and industry can call the CFIA at 
1-800-442-2342.
