This batch (Sample ID 23PB-S00010) from New Zealand Honey Co. Limited has a UMF grade of 21.3, independently tested by Analytica Laboratories Ltd in New Zealand. UMF is a recognised grading that reflects manuka’s non-peroxide antibacterial rating; the MGO (methylglyoxal) result of 920 mg/kg is the chemical marker that most directly indicates that antibacterial strength. DHA is the natural precursor in nectar that converts to MGO over time, and although a DHA value isn’t shown here, the high MGO confirms strong activity. The leptosperin level of 520 mg/kg is a botanical marker used to verify genuine manuka origin, so you can be confident in the authenticity of this jar. With MGO above 500, this is a higher-strength manuka that many shoppers choose for stronger everyday support in areas such as gut and immune wellness routines, concentrated beauty and skin-care uses, or when a more robust antibacterial profile is preferred in topical care and wound-first-aid contexts. New Zealand Honey Co. Limited stands behind the quality and traceability shown by this independent lab result.
In short: UMF 21.3 / MGO 920 with leptosperin 520 — a high-strength, authentic manuka well suited to uses that benefit from a stronger antibacterial profile.
This certification confirms the authenticity and quality of your Mānuka honey purchase.

Mānuka Honey FAQ
Why is this honey so expensive?
It’s harvested in remote areas of New Zealand and undergoes rigorous independent testing for quality, purity, and potency — all of which adds cost. Rarity and global demand also play a role.
The colour of my honey looks different. Why?
Colour can vary naturally by batch and region. It doesn’t indicate strength or efficacy; a high-MGO honey can be light, and a lower-MGO honey can be dark and visa-versa.
My honey is too hard/runny. What’s wrong?
Temperature affects viscosity. To soften, leave it somewhere warm. To firm, chill in the fridge briefly.
This Mānuka Honey tastes bitter — is it off?
High-grade Mānuka can taste bold or slightly bitter due to potent bioactive compounds. Honey doesn’t spoil in the usual sense; gentle warming can reverse crystallisation.
How is Mānuka honey different from regular honey?
Mānuka contains higher levels of methylglyoxal (MGO) and carries a UMF™ rating based on independent lab tests of key markers.
New Zealand Honey Co. is committed to complete transparency. Sourced from hives across New Zealand’s rugged, untouched landscapes, the honey is UMF™ certified, fully traceable back to the hive, and free from GMOs, glyphosate residue, antibiotics, or additives.
The company follows a simple principle: nature is best preserved in its purest form.
