Manufactured in New Zealand, The True Honey Co.'s mānuka honey squeezy contains authentic, monofloral Zealand mānuka honey, independently tested to confirm a minimum of 400mg/kg MGO.
This mānuka honey is produced by bees collecting nectar from the New Zealand native mānuka plant (Leptospermum scoparium), with the hives located in remote locations within both the North and South Islands.

Quality

Mānuka Qualities
MGO stands for methylglyoxal, a naturally occurring compound found within mānuka honey. MGO is one of the compounds tested to determine the quality and purity of mānuka honey. The higher the MGO rating the more methylglyoxal in the honey.
The True Honey Co.'s mānuka honey squeezy meets the Ministry for Primary Industries (MPI) requirements for the scientific definition of mānuka honey. The MPI definition is made up of a combination of 5 attributes (four chemical markers from the mānuka nectar and a DNA marker from the mānuka pollen).
Additionally, The True Honey Co. is a member of the UMF™ Honey Association (License number 2900). UMF™ is a grading system undertaken by the more than 100 New Zealand honey producers that form the UMF™ Honey Association. This grading system requires laboratory testing for grading attributes in order to determine the UMF™ rating.
