Sting from Chinese honey kills Groeb Farms

Michigan honey-supplier Groeb Farms Inc filed for bankruptcy after it was discovered to have illegally purchased Chinese honey by way of 3rd countries in order to circumvent antidumping duties required under US trade regulation since 2001. Groeb Farms has been placed under Chapter 11 protection in the US Bankruptcy Court in the city of Detroit. Company executives said that the US$2 million settlement with regulators necessitated the disposing of all honey coming from China in its control.
