UMF Certified Mānuka Honey
Onuku Limited is a licensed member of the Unique Mānuka Factor Honey Association. The UMF mark on our Mānuka honey certifies that it is genuine, independently tested, and graded.
The UMF grading system tests for three key markers: leptosperin (which confirms the honey is genuinely from Mānuka nectar), DHA (dihydroxyacetone, which indicates long-term potency), and methylglyoxal (MGO, the primary bioactive compound). Only monofloral Mānuka honey can carry the UMF trademark.
The UMF number on the label represents the overall quality rating based on these combined markers. A higher number means higher concentrations of all three compounds.
