LOS ANGELES | Tue Jan 5, 2010 8:43pm EST

LOS ANGELES Jan 5 (Reuters) - A substance in a passenger's bag that tested positive for explosives on Tuesday, prompting authorities to shut down a California airport, was found to be harmless bottles of honey, an FBI spokesman said.

"The substances in the bottles did turn out to be honey. They tested negative for all explosives and narcotics. It is nothing but honey," FBI spokesman Steve Dupre told Reuters.
