WAX MOTH CHEMICAL CAUSES CHEMICAL SCARE IN GREECE

Fallout grew in the northern Peloponnese area of Greece recently
from the latest health scare that involves tainted honey. Devel-
opment Ministry inspectors started overseeing the removal from
shops of local honey brands found to contain high levels of
parabichlorobenzene - a chemical used by beekeepers to kill off
a kind of moth that attacks hives during storage. A total of 21
brands have been found to be over the limit. All tainted products
are expected to have been recalled soon.
