The UMF grading system appraises natural markers found in Manuka honey, and assures purity & quality.
The UMF grading system has two components which are expressed on any UMF licenced honey product:
1) The label claim that it is Manuka
2) The number - this represents three chemical markers that indicate the content of this honey to ensure purity
and quality. This includes the key chemical markers DHA, MGO, and Leptosperin.
To receive a UMF® grading, a honey must have the presence of DHA (dihydroxyacetone), Leptosperin, and Methylglyoxal (MGO) and HMF.
The UMF® rating is a measure of the attributes and values that make up Manuka honey, and assures purity & quality.
