Typing this into the “Trace my Batch” section of our website brings up the paperwork trail and testing certificates. If you peel back the label on any one of our jars, you will find a batch number etched onto the pot itself. (So for example, a 100 MGO pot will contain a minimum of 100 milligrams of Methylglyoxal per kilogram). It is a free to use scale for any honey company which refers to the amount of MGO contained in each pot, in terms of milligrams per kilogram. MGO is not a trademark nor part of the New Zealand Government’s MPI standard. Which stands for Methyglyoxal and is a naturally occurring compound within Manuka honey. For a honey to be classified as genuine Manuka it has to meet this MPI standard in an independent lab test, which include checks for the levels of four naturally occurring markers and a DNA marker which are unique to New Zealand Manuka Honey. The independent testing standard you were seeking is actually on the lid of every jar we sell This stamp refers to the strict New Zealand Government Standard (often called the MPI Standard) which every batch of Manuka Doctor honey is tested for in New Zealand. We use this phrase because what we do is unique and this tagline succinctly describes the efforts we go to in transparency and testing, making sure our product is true to label and our high standards for providing a quality Manuka Honey. Yes you are correct 'Hive to Home' is a trade mark we own. However if you'd like to ask specific questions then please send these through to as we are always happy to help any customer with queries Next our trade marks. Once we have fulfilled these legal obligations on the label there is not a great deal of room left to talk about the product or the company itself. This means the barcode, nutritional information, and company details. The small space we have is in the main governed by information required to meet the UK’s food labelling requirements. Manuka honey is a complicated product and it would be impossible to include every test, fact and figure on a single label of the side of a pot. We always encourage people to do their homework when it comes to buying any brand of Manuka honey and we are happy to answer and reassure you and your parents about Manuka Doctor.
