QUALITY AND AUTHENTICITY GUIDE

Mānuka honey certificates and grading: your questions

Understand the label, read the laboratory markers and match your jar to its batch certificate.

What is a UMF™ release certificate?

It is a record for the named sample and batch. Scan your label QR code, match the batch code with your jar, and review the certificate ID and results. The laboratory result can be higher than the minimum grade printed on the label.

What does leptosperin testing tell me?

Leptosperin is one marker used in UMF™ quality and authenticity testing. Read the reported batch result alongside MGO, DHA and HMF rather than treating one measurement as the whole quality assessment.

What is the difference between UMF™ and MGO?

MGO stands for methylglyoxal; the accompanying number expresses its concentration in milligrams per kilogram. UMF™ evaluates four quality factors. An MGO number alone is not UMF™ certification, and neither number is a treatment dose.

How do I compare Mānuka honey grades before buying?

Start with the labelled UMF™ grade and MGO value, then check the batch certificate and licensed brand. Compare jar size, price and availability at the retailer. A higher grade is not a promise of a health outcome.

What if my batch number does not match?

Do not assume a certificate for another batch covers your jar. Contact our team with the UMF™ grade and batch code so we can help you locate the relevant record.

What to compare

Check the jar against the record.

  • The UMF™ grade shown on the front label.
  • The batch code printed on the jar or label.
  • The certificate ID and laboratory reference.
  • The reported MGO, DHA, leptosperin and HMF values.
  • The licence holder: Manuka Drops Limited, Licence #2986.

Independent UMFHA check

Verify the brand and licence.

UMF™ is a New Zealand quality-assurance system for genuine Mānuka honey. The product or batch certificate and the official UMFHA brand licence are separate verification layers.

Important batch-specific notice

A certificate applies to the named sample and batch shown in that document. It does not automatically cover every future batch or every label version. Always compare your jar with the current record, and contact us if the codes do not match.

Jar size and retail product details are separate product context and are not stated as certificate evidence. This page explains quality and authenticity documentation only; it is not medical advice and does not claim government approval or treatment efficacy.

Need help matching a batch?

If your jar opens a different document or you cannot match the codes, contact Manuka Drops Limited before relying on the record.
