High-Grade MGO Manuka Honey from New Zealand

Manuka honey is a distinctive natural product produced in New Zealand. MNZ specialises in certified monofloral Manuka honey across a range of verified MGO levels, from 100 mg/kg to 1500 mg/kg and higher. The MGO level indicates the measurable concentration of methylglyoxal present in the honey. Higher MGO classifications reflect higher verified concentrations of this naturally occurring compound.

Methylglyoxal (MGO) Certification System

Methylglyoxal (MGO) is one of the key compounds measured in Manuka honey. Laboratory analysis allows for precise quantification of MGO levels, providing a transparent and reliable grading system. For example, MGO 550+ Manuka honey is independently tested and certified to contain at least 550 mg of methylglyoxal per kilogram of honey.

Methylglyoxal (MGO) in Honey

Methylglyoxal occurs naturally in small amounts in various foods. What distinguishes Manuka honey is the measurable concentration that develops naturally from DHA in the nectar of the Manuka flower. This unique composition gives Manuka honey its characteristic profile.
