New York Senator Schumer assails 'honey laundering'

Sen. Charles Schumer has attacked suspicious trade practices by Chinese honey producers, the so-called "honey laundering." Says Schumer:
Instead of simply selling their product in a fair and competitive way, the Chinese are using illegal, backdoor deliveries and mislabeling their product to accomplish their goal. Today I am calling on the federal government to issue a stinging rebuke to these practices, and once again level the playing field.

Schumer was to take part in Senate hearings. I read that there would be audio of the hearing at the U.S.-China Economic and Security Review Commission website; nothing as of this writing, but check back.
