Eleven individuals and six corporations were indicted on federal charges for allegedly participating in an international conspiracy to illegally import honey from China that was mislabeled as coming from other countries to avoid antidumping duties and included honey that was adulterated with antibiotics not approved for use in honey production, federal law enforcement officials announced. Ten of the individuals were top executives of corporate defendant Alfred L. Wolff GmbH, or four affiliated defendant companies, a German food conglomerate whose Unites States honey-importing business was based in Chicago. Between 2002 and 2009, the defendants allegedly conspired to illegally import more that $40 million of Chinese-origin honey to avoid antidumping duties totaling nearly $80 million.
