FAQ

What is MGO in manuka honey?

Methylglyoxal, to give it its full name, is the source of golden mānuka honey’s special antibacterial properties and an important potency measure. The higher the MGO, the stronger the concentration of MGO. The UMF guarantee means that you can be sure that Mānuka honey bearing the UMF mark contains the special activity.

Why does the UMFHA not use pollen for product rating or to authenticate manuka honey?

There are two main challenges with using pollen for any manuka standard. The first is that bees can easily pick up different pollens as they fly around collecting nectar. This means that manuka pollen could easily be found mixed in non-manuka honey after bees visit many different types of flowers making non-manuka honeys appear to be manuka. Secondly, there are pollens that under a microscope look very similar to manuka to all but the most experienced specialist mānuka honey scientists and technicians assessing quality and authenticity. Research has also identified that pollen DNA degrades over time making it an unreliable marker.

Why is Mānuka Honey expensive?

We are often asked, “Why is mānuka honey so expensive compared to other honey?” First and foremost it is important to recognize that UMF certified New Zealand mānuka honey is a natural health and wellness product.

When we look at the scarcity of the product, the challenges sourcing wild mānuka honey from deep in forests, the testing and care taken to nurture the honey so it arrives in countries around the world in top condition, tests to validate the bio-activity, and the procedures put in place to ensure sure each jar meets the different regulations for natural health products in countries around the world, it turns out that mānuka honey is actually a relatively well-priced natural health product.

How long does mānuka honey last?

UMF™ mānuka honey will last for a long time but the 2300+ bio-active components within New Zealand mānuka honey have a life of 3 years or more in honey that has been harvested, packed and shipped according to the correct protocols.
