is this honey an approved umf rating??

This is the review I ledt. This product should not cost more than your normal average raw honey Reviewed in the United States on January 17, 2022 Flavor Name: KFactor 16Size: 1.1 Pound (Pack of 1) Though the company makes no claims of UMF and rates 16 on pollen it's my understanding that in order to label as Manuka it must contain at least rank an 83 on the scale. Bees and trees sent this for a blind lab test. The lab had no idea what brand of honey they were testing. The results came back showing that the MG level was a very low 52. The equivalent UMF rating for MG 52 is…well…it doesn’t exist. What this means is that the level of MG in the honey was so low that it doesn’t even rank on the scale. The UMF/MG rating scale starts at MG 83.

What is the grade of this manuka honey? I have heard it needs to be over 12 plus.

Where is the UMF label on the front of the jar? Only the UMF label are legit.

What does the kfactor number mean?

Hello, Thank you for your interest in our products, we appreciate it. It is important to note that the UMF Honey Association is a trade association made of voluntary paid membership, and is not a regulatory authority in New Zealand. As a trade association, they have their own honey grading system that their members must follow. Both the UMF rating system and our KFactor system have been deemed compliant for use by the NZ regulatory authority. Because the rating systems are internal standards, comparison of the two is not a transparent exercise. The regulatory authority in New Zealand, the Ministry of Primary Industries, has recently released the regulatory definition of Manuka honey, which will come into law from 5 February 2018. This is the result of many years of scientific research to find stable markers that can be easily and quickly replicated in the laboratory environment. Unfortunately, pollen analysis was not included because this requires specialist knowledge to differentiate the pollen. However, they have included a DNA test to prove floral origin as an easily replicated laboratory test. The markers used by the UMF association of Leptosperin, Dihydroxyacetone (DHA), and Methylglyoxal (MGO) were not included into the regulatory definition due to stability and other issues undisclosed by the regulatory authority. The regulatory definition includes 4 chemical markers with varying threshold levels, and the DNA test. A sample must meet all 5 test standards to be considered (and labelled) as Manuka honey. More information can be found on the regulatory website here: http://www.mpi.govt.nz/growing-and-harvesting/honey-and-bees/manuka-honey/ Please check out our website for updates and new products this year and if you’d like to try some samples, please email me back your shipping address. We hope this helps to clarify the answers to your questions, as we realize that the lack of a regulatory definition until now has created a high amount of confusion in the consumer market. We can be reached Monday to Friday 8am to 4pm EST our toll-free number is 877-296-8403, or email me at elizabeth@wedderspoon.com with any additional questions. Thank you,

Great healer!

This honey was recommended to me by someone who had tested many types of Manuka honey for healing the skin. I followed the advice given and all I can say is I am happy with the results. This honey reduces the scabbing of wounds and promotes healing. I do eat the occasional spoonful and I think it tastes wonderful, it is like a treat! I think it is valuable to keep some in the household for first aid and skin care and its quite nice you can eat it too. So this honey works for me! Wedderspoon gives the following assurance:- Product of New Zealand unpasteurised, smooth, creamy manuka honey. Honey that is free from chemical residues Antibiotic and GMO Free. Activity in our honeys has been reached naturally. Hives are made from environmentally friendly material. Our packaging is BPA Free. Each jar is traceable back to the master beekeeper.

quality manuka

This is a very healthy manuka as it is raw and seems to be active. However, do not be misled by that brand name - it is not organic honey. Its taste is good but nothing spectacular and its potency is not UMFHA certified. Wedderspoon does sell organic manuka but this is not it.

Beware postal charges!

Came from Canada which pushed the price right up. Unfortunately I didn't notice in time! It has a strong taste but very pleasant. I just hope it will be of help.

Very sweet, expensive!

This is not the tastiest honey I have had, but definitely the most expensive, it didn't even come in a glass jar. It's very unlikely I would buy this again, I have had cheaper, tastier honeys that seem to work just as well in easing my stomach problems. I also just discovered my local health food shop offers a 25+ for the same price

Misleading - Not Organic. Not UMF / NPA.

Misleading - this is NOT organic ('Organic' is just part of the company name). 'Active +16' is not UMF, or even NPA
