The number on the front of the pot represents the mg per kg of MGO (Methylglyoxal) and the related strength of Antimicrobial Activity, which is known to kill certain types of bacteria. The greater the number, the stronger the Antimicrobial Activity.
MGO in Mānuka honey is naturally made in the hive from DHA which is present in the nectar of the Manuka Bush. Within the hive DHA undergoes the Maillard reaction to naturally form MGO.
100% Genuine New Zealand Mānuka Honey. Independently tested to show it meets the New Zealand Government's definition of Mānuka honey.
Pure New Zealand Mānuka Honey has a unique taste that changes as the MGO rating increases. It isn't as sweet as most mass produced honey varieties so to help you decide on the taste and antimicrobial properties (MGO rating) that's perfect for you we've created this handy taste chart.
Honey should not be given to infants under 12 months old.
Manuka Doctor Mānuka Honey purchased directly from us will have an expiry date with a minimum of 6 months remaining from the date of purchase.
Please note that Manuka Doctor Honey is not for resale.
In hot weather we recommend that our Manuka Doctor Honey is refrigerated to maintain a thick, golden consistency. If your honey does become runny then simply chill for a few hours.
On the subject of plastic, we as a business we have considered switching to glass for our Manuka Honey for some years.
However after an impact assessment, it was established that because the product is transported over 11,000 miles by sea, changing from recyclable plastic to glass would add significant weight and therefore fuel, emissions and pollutants to every shipment.

Q&A
What is BBE
Hi, Manuka Doctor jars carry a BBE, not expiry date on the label. BBE stands for Best Before End and as published by the UK Government Food Standards Agency,. “The best before date, sometimes shown as BBE (best before end), is about quality and not safety. The food will be safe to eat after this date but may not be at its best.” The full web page can be viewed here food.gov.uk/safety-hygiene/best-before-and-use-by-dates#:~:text=The%20best%20before%20date%2C%20sometimes,not%20be%20at%20its%20best.&text=Best%20before%20dates%20appear%20on,frozen%20foods It is important to Manuka Doctor that we sell a very high quality product, so taste, appearance and being true to label are key to ensuring our customers will always enjoy our high quality natural product. The Manuka Doctor BBE is set because honey gets darker and loses its best Manuka flavour over time. It is best to consume Manuka Doctor honey within best before end (BBE) date. We carefully test the MGO in our honey when we pack it, and our internal testing shows that the MGO level on the label is maintained within the BBE date. I hope this helps.
How long is the shelf life of honey
Hi, unless stated on the website, all Manuka honey will have a BBE date of at least 6 months.
Can I give it to my 6 year old son
Hi, Manuka honey is safe to give to children over 12 months so we would recommend any strength that suits your budget.
How much do you take every day
Hi James, there is no set dose of how much manuka you should take. However you can find out how much other customers like to take here - https://www.manukadoctor.co.uk/blogs/content/our-survey-says
