This certificate covers sample ID 1200824 from the Licensee New Zealand Honey Co. Limited. Independent testing by Hill Labs in New Zealand shows a UMF grade of 20.3 and an MGO (methylglyoxal) level of 848 mg/kg — MGO is the compound that largely drives manuka’s well-known antibacterial rating, while DHA is the naturally occurring precursor that converts to MGO during ripening (DHA is not listed on this certificate). The lab also measured leptosperin at 420 mg/kg, a botanical marker used to confirm genuine manuka origin. A UMF of 20+ and an MGO of 848 indicate this is a high-strength manuka suited to applications where a stronger antibacterial profile is desirable; higher MGO honeys like this are often chosen for immunity and gut-support routines, concentrated beauty and skin-care formulations, and topical wound-care preparations. New Zealand Honey Co. Limited has provided a well-documented, independently tested product you can buy with confidence.
In short: UMF 20.3, MGO 848 mg/kg, Leptosperin 420 mg/kg — a high-strength, genuine manuka from Hill Labs (New Zealand), ideal when you want a stronger-rated manuka for immunity, gut, beauty or skin-care uses.

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.
