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.
