UMF™ (Unique Manuka Factor) is a quality mark with a trusted standard.
Every batch of UMF™ Mountain Gold Manuka Honey undergoes testing and must pass the standard for us to be able to display the UMF logo on our pots. This mark is independently monitored for quality, purity and authenticity by the UMF® Honey Association (UMFHA). The UMF® number indicates the level of the unique Manuka properties within the honey. As well as regular monitoring, the UMFHA also conducts random sampling to ensure Manuka honey carrying the UMF® mark is true to label.
Only the UMF® testing process measures all three signature compounds, Methylglyoxal, DHA, and Leptosperin. These together indicate the purity, quality, and test for authentic, Manuka honey.
Methylglyoxal (MG) is one of the key components naturally occurring in New Zealand Manuka Honey. It is found in high levels in Manuka Honey (at least 50mg/kg) but in only low levels in other honeys (only 0-5 mg/kg).
