This batch (Sample ID 2200225) from New Zealand Honey Co. Limited is UMF 21 — a high UMF grade that reflects the honey’s non-peroxide activity and overall manuka quality. The independent analysis by Hill Labs in New Zealand shows Methylglyoxal (MGO) at 896 mg/kg, which is the chemical often used to indicate antibacterial strength; higher MGO numbers point to stronger activity. DHA, the natural precursor that converts into MGO over time, is part of how that strength develops (not listed on this certificate). Leptosperin at 610 mg/kg is recorded as a botanical marker confirming genuine manuka origin. Together these results indicate a robust, high-strength manuka honey: while lower MGO honeys (<500 mg/kg) are typically chosen for everyday food, baking and gentle skincare, this MGO level is commonly preferred in situations where a high antibacterial rating is valued — for example targeted gut and immunity-focused routines, and specialised beauty, skin and wound-care applications. New Zealand Honey Co. Limited continue to supply clearly tested, well-graded manuka so you know what’s in the jar.

In short: UMF 21 with MGO 896 mg/kg and Leptosperin 610 mg/kg (tested by Hill Labs, New Zealand) — a high-strength, premium manuka suited to uses that value strong antibacterial activity.
