This certificate (Sample ID 31019K05) from Analytica Laboratories Ltd in New Zealand confirms a UMF grade of 7.7 and an MGO (methylglyoxal) level of 171 mg/kg. UMF is a recognised grading that reflects the unique manuka character of the honey—7.7 indicates a mild, everyday-strength product ideal for day-to-day use. MGO is a naturally occurring compound in manuka that is often used to indicate the honey’s non-peroxide antibacterial activity; at 171 mg/kg this batch is in the lower range (<500), making it especially well suited to food, everyday wellness, baking, drinks and skincare. Leptosperin is listed at 163 mg/kg, which is a botanical marker used to support the authenticity of genuine manuka nectar. DHA (the precursor that converts to MGO in storage) is not provided on this certificate, so no DHA value is reported here. New Zealand Honey Co. Limited has supplied a clearly tested, authentic manuka product backed by an independent New Zealand laboratory—great for shoppers wanting a reliable, versatile manuka honey for daily use.
In short: UMF 7.7 with MGO 171 mg/kg and leptosperin 163 mg/kg — a genuine, lower-strength manuka from Analytica Laboratories (NZ), ideal for food, drinks, baking and everyday skincare.

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.
