The Rural Industries Research and Development Corporation (RIRDC) Research and Development (R&D) plan for the Honeybee Program 1996-2001 (page 18) identified some issues which could contribute to marketing honey and efficiency.

In this legislation one of the references relating to unsuitable food is one that “contains biological or chemical agent, or other matter or substance that is foreign to the nature of the food”.
