Are you checking your manuka honey is the real deal?

It’s vital to do your homework before you purchase any honey, but especially Manuka

In the UK we eat more than 50,000 tons of honey a year, and globally over 1.9 million tons are consumed. But scientists have warned that more honey is being sold than the world’s bees can possibly produce. Suggesting much of it is likely to be mixed with cheap sugar syrup1:

The facts:

Official data from the New Zealand Government shows that of the 27,000 tonnes of honey the country produced in the 2019/20 season, a huge 76 per cent of it (20,520 tonnes) was Manuka honey. Of that total 7,854 tonnes was exported out of New Zealand, with the UK receiving 1,973 tonnes. It is not possible to know how much Manuka is sold in the UK annually as not all retailers or online sellers release their sales figures. Yet industry insiders estimate not every product available in the UK would meet the correct New Zealand standards if tested here.

Know where your honey has been:

All Manuka Doctor honey is harvested and packed into jars in New Zealand itself. We then ship our finished products to our base in the UK, where it is dispatched to you. This means we’re always in control of the process, and we never pack our Manuka honey outside of New Zealand. When the security seal lid is applied to your jar in our facility in Hamilton, NZ. nobody else opens it until you do.

Our Hive to Home promise

Every batch of Manuka honey we sell can be traced back to the exact group of beehives in New Zealand where it was created from.

Our honey is always tested five times between the beekeeper and the final sale to customers. And we always use independent labs both here in the UK and in New Zealand to ensure our honey meets the required Government standards.

We call this our Hive-to-Home promise.
