9 Essential Manuka Markers

Independent Lab Results vs UMF™ Thresholds

How this batch compares to the UMF™ Four Factor Quality Test

Compared against: UMF 10+
Result: Meets or exceeds the UMF™ Four Factor Test criteria
All four markers meet the minimums for UMF 10+ (HMF within max limit).
UMF minimum threshold
Test Result
MGO (Potency) i Methylglyoxal (MGO) is the primary compound responsible for mānuka honey’s antibacterial strength. Higher MGO indicates higher potency.
UMF min threshold: 261 mg/kg
Test Result: 319 mg/kg ✅ Above
Leptosperin (Authenticity) i Leptosperin is a unique mānuka marker that helps verify authenticity and floral source.
UMF min threshold: 150 mg/kg
Test Result: 263 mg/kg ✅ Above
DHA (Shelf life) i Dihydroxyacetone (DHA) naturally converts to MGO over time, supporting potency during shelf life.
UMF min threshold: 250 mg/kg
Test Result: 306 mg/kg ✅ Above
HMF (Freshness) i Hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF) forms during heating/aging. Lower HMF indicates fresher honey and careful handling.
UMF max limit: 40 mg/kg
Test Result: 32.7 mg/kg ✅ Fresh — a lower result is better

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: 0.04

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: <0.0040

Glufosinate: <0.010

Aminomethyl phosphonic acid: <0.010
