Manuka Honey

All our manuka honey is independently tested and certified by an

accredited laboratory. The MGO number on the front of the jar

represents the mg per kg of MGO (Methylglyoxal) and the

related strength of Antimicrobial Activity, which is known to kill

certain types of bacteria. The greater the number, the stronger

the Antimicrobial Activity.

MGO stands for the natural chemical methylglyoxal, sometimes referred to as MG. Methylglyoxal is the naturally occurring compound found and identified in genuine New Zealand Mānuka honey. This rating defines the strength and potency of the

mānuka

honey. Our Honey is graded using MGO levels, these are equivalent to the UMF or NPA grading systems as follows.
