Well, here it was just presumed . . .
. . regulations weren't needed - until food processors and distributors started importing their honey for China, since it was cheaper. Some Chinese "honey" has never had any relationship with bees, and most of the rest is heavily cut with cheaper sweeteners.
Australia is closer to China, perhaps you've already been through that. |

I really don't know.
Most honey I see in the supermarket is "proudly Australian" and has been so for decades, so that may be a factor. Besides, Australians like our gourmet honey industry. :-)

Checked in the supermarket this afternoon.
It turns out that *all* the honey is Australian honey! I don't think importing Chinese "honey" is going to work for Aussie consumers.

Here in the U.S. it was food processors . . .
. . who got the imports going - cheaper, you know, and it spread from there. Maybe in Australia the "buy Australian" sentiment can keep Chinese "honey" off the shelves.
