This is driven by the manipulation of the rating systems and lack of legislation around labelling and testing manuka honey. In order to be genuine manuka honey, a substantial amount of methyglyoxal – or MGO – must be present but current guidelines don’t say what the minimal MGO levels should be. This means a considerable amount of manuka honey sold is not genuine. It’s great to see Rowse Honey’s commitment to ensuring consumers are getting the real deal. Their use of NPA ratings on pack clearly states the level of active MGO in the jar, and so people can be confident they’re buying genuine manuka honey. Peter Molan sadly passed away in September 2015, after having dedicated over 30 years of his life to investigating the mysterious properties of Manuka Honey. His ground-breaking work will be forever valued and always remembered. Peter Molan’s quote relates to the interim 2014 MPI guidelines, however the issues he raised have still not been addressed by the full guidelines published in 2017.
