FAQ ON MANUKA HONEY STANDARDS
HOW CAN SOMEONE TELL IF THEIR JAR OF MANUKA HONEY IS AUTHENTIC?
The single best way to know if a Manuka Honey is genuine is to make sure the label says packed in New Zealand or shows the Fernmark Seal (an even higher stamp of authenticity for products produced in New Zealand) on the package – this guarantees the honey was tested before export, is authentic, and meets the global MPI Manuka Honey standards.
As of February 5, 2018, all Manuka Honey packed in jars and exported from New Zealand is now required to be tested to show it meets the MPI Manuka Honey standard before it can lawfully be labelled as Manuka.
