Six things worth checking on any jar, and how ours measures up.
Each one is issued by an independent body.
What is it?
The Australian Manuka Honey Association's Mark of Authenticity. To carry it, honey must be 100% Australian, meet minimum DHA and MGO levels, and be tested by a recognised laboratory.
Our membership
We're a member of the Australian Manuka Honey Association, and our honey is certified AMHA Authentic.
What it means for your jar
Your honey is 100% authentic Manuka honey from the Leptospermum plant, produced in Australia and batch tested.
What is it?
Australian Certified Organic certifies produce made to the Australian Certified Organic Standard: natural, sustainable methods with no synthetic pesticides or chemicals. We're a certified organic producer and manufacturer (certificate 12528), audited annually.
Which products it covers
A selection of our products meet certified organic standards. Look for the ACO badge on the jar and on the product page.
What it means for your jar
The ACO badge on a jar means that product is certified organic, checked through ACO's annual audit rather than by us alone.
Where our honey comes from
Made in Australia from 100% Australian ingredients: our honey comes from the Australian native bush and is stored and bottled at our Gold Coast production facility. Family owned since 1999.
What we test for
MGO (methylglyoxal) strength and purity, tested on every batch at bottling.
Who tests it
Analytica Laboratories (NZ) or the University of the Sunshine Coast Honey Lab. The certificate of analysis for each product is on its product page.
What is it?
HACCP is an internationally recognised food safety system. Our manufacturing and packing facility is HACCP certified (certificate #6923).
How do we know?
Our honey is tested for GMOs and glyphosate in independent lab tests, run twice a year. Both come back clear.
Answer a few quick questions and we will match you to an MGO strength.

From the nectar of Australian Leptospermum flowers.
BPA-free plastic jars, or Miron Violet Glass jars that filter light.
Yes. Manuka honey comes from the nectar of Leptospermum plants. Australia has over 80 native species. Authentic Australian Manuka honey is tested for the same active compound, MGO. Trade mark offices in New Zealand and the UK have also refused to make "Manuka honey" a protected New Zealand term.
MGO is a natural compound, measured in mg/kg. It's the main driver of Manuka honey's antibacterial activity. Any Manuka honey can be tested for it. UMF™ is a licensed grading mark from the UMF Honey Association for New Zealand Manuka honey. It combines MGO with three other factors: leptosperin, DHA and HMF.
Manuka honey is a bioactive product. Its natural chemistry keeps changing, so its MGO can rise and fall over time. Every jar is guaranteed at the minimum MGO on its label at bottling, and MGO slowly declines after that. So each batch is bottled above the label strength, to allow for that decline over a long period when the honey is stored correctly.
For example, our MGO 2200+ batch #224738 was independently tested at an accredited laboratory at MGO 2360 mg/kg at bottling. You can see the latest results on each product page.
Australian Certified Organic (ACO), certificate number 12528. We're audited annually. A selection of our products meet certified organic standards: look for the ACO badge on the jar and on the product page.
It's stamped on each jar. The MGO 2200+ gift box certificate also shows it.
