据澳大利亚农业部消息，由于进口蜂蜜合格率较高，因此澳大利亚决定自2015年10月14日起，减少进口蜂蜜的监控项目。
新监控项目包括：还原糖含量、水分含量以及是否掺入蔗糖或玉米糖浆。原有的针对蜂蜜中抗生素项目，如氯霉素、硝基呋喃、链霉素、磺胺类和四环素类，将不再监控。
部分原文报道如下：
The Department of Agriculture has completed a review of the tests applied to imported honey.
The testing of imported honey for the antimicrobials, chloramphenicol, nitrofurans, streptomycin, sulphonamides and tetracyclines has demonstrated high levels of compliance for a prolonged period. The testing of imported honey for these antimicrobials will cease.
Consignments of imported honey will now be inspected, sampled and tested for evidence of the addition of cane sugar or corn syrup （C4 sugar adulteration）， reducing sugar content and moisture content.
