All our manuka honey is independently tested and certified by an accredited laboratory. The MGO number on the front of the jar represents the mg per kg of MGO (Methylglyoxal) and the related strength of Antimicrobial Activity, which is known to kill certain types of bacteria. The greater the number, the stronger the Antimicrobial Activity.
MGO stands for the natural chemical methylglyoxal, sometimes referred to as MG. Methylglyoxal is the naturally occurring compound found and identified in genuine New Zealand Mānuka honey. This rating defines the strength and potency of the mānuka honey. Our Honey is graded using MGO levels, these are equivalent to the UMF or NPA grading systems as follows.
