Well Randall we're just going to have to disagree...as usual. Seeing that you (nor I) do not know what those (not approved) antibiotics are or their concentration levels in the honey there's no way for you to say there is "no" risk. We do know they are not approved so there is a starting point toward it not being a good thing...then there is the whole illegal operation aspect to consider. Not like these types of folks are concerned about what's healthy or legal. Secondly there is no way to know how this will be packaged. I'm assuming you mean the 1.5 pounds will be diluted? Still not good! So they mix it in with other honey to dilute it? Not an efficient business model, but now it's spread out more. I'm just saying that since these folks are working in illegal smuggling they don't care, and considering the source (china) folks in that country still think its ok to put lead in paint for kids toys. Just say'n that crap should be sent back and China officials should have to pay for it! Depending on moisture content honey weights ~12 lbs per gallon. Most (ok almost all) commercial operations ship via 55 gallon drums. That's 660 lbs per drum...X 4,900 "barrels" and that comes to a shocking 3,234,000 lbs or 1,617 TONS of adulterated honey! Or using your 1.5 lbs per person that means 2,156,000 people would eat this "if" they didn't thin it out. If they did thin that honey it would be more! :-( I just think it should be sent back and seeing how we don't know what's in it, other than NOT approved antibiotics no one can claim if it's safe.
