Result: 20.5 NPA
The NPA test was the original grading test that the UMF level was based off. While the UMF level today is based off the 4 factor test, the NPA level still matches the UMF number; the same way it did historically. There is also a direct correlation between the NPA level and the amount of MGO in the honey.

Sprays & Residues

Tutin Residue

A tiny insect called the passion vine hopper feeds on the tutu plant and excretes a substance – honeydew – onto the branches and leaves of the plant. When honeybees feed on this honeydew, it can contaminate their honey.

Tutin Compliance: PASS

Tutin Result: <0.01

Herbicides

Testing to confirm honey does not have any herbicide residue

Result: PASS

Glyphosate: <0.010

Glufosinate: <0.010

Aminomethyl phosphonic acid: <0.010

Herbicides (Trace)

A second test to confirm the honey does not have any herbicide residue

Result: PASS

Glyphosate: <0.010

Glufosinate: <0.010

Aminomethyl phosphonic acid: <0.010
