Barely visible on the Shop-Rite brand bottle of honey is the country of origin information: It is a product of U.S., Canada, Argentina, and India.
What's troubling here is what we know about "Indian" honey - that it very well could be Chinese honey relabeled to avoid scrutiny and fair tariffs. And we know that some Chinese has been tainted with antibiotics, from a severe bacterial infection of hives several years ago.
I still endorse the practice of buying local honey. You don't know where those generic store-brands have been.
