Lab reports of these sample tests conducted by, Centre for Science and Environment disclosed some astonishing facts claiming the presence of harmful antibiotics at non-permissible levels. The foreign nations which are strictly against such moves of the companies either ban the products ones they are ascertained with the high levels of antibiotics or either they monitor the usage of antibiotics in honey.

Hence, one could make it out that most of the domestic companies are selling and exporting  dependable quality of honey in abroad and are selling infectious harmful honey in the local Indian markets, following the double standard which shouldn’t be appreciated. The Indian government and other authorities should come with better laws to curb such moves of the retailers. In a media interaction, Centre for Science and Environment director, Sunita Narain said, “It is clear that foreign companies are taking advantage of the lack of regulations in India. After all, if our government does not care about the health of its people, why should these companies care?”
