Get to Know your Honey
Lot ID: 0134A550

Watch where the bees collected the nectar for your batch of Manuka
We take Traceability Seriously
We are the only brand of Manuka that shows you truly where you honey has come from.
We also test our honey for more Manuka honey markers than the UMF association and exceed NZ Government Requirements for Export Grade Manuka

MGO level: 591
NPA: 16.3
MPI Honey Type: Monofloral Manuka
Number of Markers Tested:
26
Essential Manuka Markers
MGO: 591
MGO stands for Methylglyoxal which is the organic compound responsible for Manuka honey’s strong antibacterial properties. DHA converts to MGO
NPA: 16.3
Non-Peroxide Activity (NPA) is the key measure of Manuka honey’s antibacterial strength. While all honeys have peroxide-based activity, which is antibacterial, it declines quickly over heat and time.
Manuka’s NPA is unique, remaining stable and present in high amounts.
DHA: 714
Found in the nectar of the Manuka flower, this is the precursor marker to Methylglyoxal (MGO)
HMF: 24.5
Should be below 40
HMF is a heat-sensitive compound which is an important measure for understanding if the Manuka honey has been tampered with. It essentially measures how fresh the honey is
Leptosperin 361
Unique Manuka Marker - tested by the UMF association for Legitimacy
NZ Government Manuka Markers (MPI)
Manuka DNA: 29.46
Needs to be below 36
3-PLA: 910
Needs to be above 400
This marker is a broad spectrum antimicrobial compound active against bacteria and fungi
2'-MAP: 20.0
Needs to be above 5
A phenolic compound found in Manuka
4-HPLA: 7.6
Needs to be above 1
An antioxidant found in Manuka Honey
2-MBA: 6.0
Needs to be above 1
A plant metabolite only found in Manuka - within nectar producing plants

Physical Properties
The most commonly tested physical characteristics of honey as defined by the Honey Codex
Colour: 109
Conductivity: 451
Moisture: 17.3
Brix: 76

C4 Sugars (AOAC)
Internationally recognised test to prove no sugar adulteration
C4 Sugar % : 7.0
Whole Honey ¹³C : -24.8
Protein Extract ¹³C : -26.66
HP Difference: 1.9

Diastase
A diastase test measures the enzymatic activity of diastase (amylase) in honey. Diastase is a natural enzyme present in honey that helps break down starch into simpler sugars.
Diastase (Phadebas): 7.6

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: 0.02

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
