Taiwan drink honey tested "tetracycline"

Taiwan's famous drink 50-percent custom honey tested "tetracycline." Yunlin and Tainan have dismantled the product.

Lin Bifen, deputy director of the Tainan City Government Health Bureau, said at a press conference that 50 companies had recently received their own notifications and the “Bees workshop flower honey – litchi honey” was purchased from Yunlin Xianshui Honey Co., Ltd. in the previous few days. After making 2290 cans of goods, SGS was found to have received 987 ppb of tetracycline.

Tetracyclines are very traditional and relatively inexpensive antibiotics, but they cannot be used on bees. The Health Bureau pointed out that the effective date of the batch of honey was June 30, 2017. The 50-ounce company announced that it had already removed all 1180 cans from all outlets.

The Tainan Municipal Health Bureau has notified the Yunlin County Health Bureau to investigate the source of the non-compliant honey products and to inspect other batches of honey products.

The Yunlin County Health Bureau said on the 25th that the soil of the Turk Mountains and landscapes was 50 ounces of customized honey, and the suspected phthalocyanin was found to be inconsistent with the inspection, and 690 bottles of the 690 bottles had been removed for storage.

Yunlin Health Bureau said that the investigation was that Shanshui honey was made of 2500 bottles of honey and 50 kilograms of customized honey, and sent to Tainan and Kaohsiung for storage.
