This certificate from Analytica Laboratories Ltd (New Zealand) confirms that the batch Sample ID 3034824/26 from New Zealand Honey Co. Limited carries a UMF grade of 26.4 and an MGO (methylglyoxal) level of 1310 mg/kg. UMF is a recognised manuka grading that reflects the honey’s unique signature strength; an MGO reading tells you how much antibacterial-active compound is present, and here 1310 mg/kg is a high figure — suitable where stronger antibacterial activity is desired. DHA (dihydroxyacetone), the natural precursor that converts to MGO during ageing, is part of this chemistry (no DHA value is shown on this certificate). The leptosperin result of 591 mg/kg is a botanical marker that supports the honey’s authenticity as genuine manuka. Taken together, these lab results — from a reputable independent lab in New Zealand — show a premium, high‑potency manuka product. New Zealand Honey Co. Limited’s batch appears well suited for uses that call for higher antibacterial activity, while still being a quality ingredient for beauty and specialised daily routines.
In short: UMF 26.4, MGO 1310 mg/kg and leptosperin 591 mg/kg from Analytica Laboratories Ltd (New Zealand) indicate a high‑potency, authentic manuka ideal for applications where strong antibacterial activity is desired.
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.
