MGO vs UMF

Is MGO equivalent to UMF™?

No, UMF™ is more comprehensive measurement of the quality factors that matter when assessing the quality of a manuka honey product. MGO is one of four factors measured to ensure consumers around the world get a pure potent genuine New Zealand manuka honey product that will meet their needs and expectations.

Rare New Zealand honey is sustainably harvested, then carefully stored and processed with the least possible interference to ensure the honey retains its unique natural properties. We are committed to providing assurances to global customers by independently testing and certifying the purity, potency, authenticity and quality of Rare New Zealand manuka honey. Every jar carries the trusted certifications of the New Zealand FernMark and the UMFHA which utilises modern technology to ensure proof of origin and authenticity.

What's the Difference Between UMF and MGO?

UMF 18+ Manuka Honey

The rating comprised of four components

MGO FOR POTENCY - Methylglyoxal, is measured and included within the UMF™ guarantee meaning that you can be sure that Manuka honey bearing the UMF™ mark contains the special activity.

LEPTOSPERIN FOR AUTHENTICITY - Leptosperin is a compound found only in manuka flower nectar and can only be created by nature. Measuring this unique component ensures the authenticity of manuka honey. Laboratory research also shows leptosperin content has anti-inflammatory properties that grows as the UMF™ scale increases.

DHA FOR SHELF LIFE - Dihydroxyacetone (as it’s known to us) is slowly converted to MGO in healthy living honey. The higher the DHA content, the longer the life of the MGO content in your manuka honey – which is why the best manuka honey must have more than 70 mg/kg DHA to be UMF™ certified.

HMF FOR FRESHNESS - We test for hydroxymethylfurfural, since this long-named compound assures honey has not been overheated or stored too long, and is in the best condition to maintain the unique blend of living properties in manuka honey as promised by Rare New Zealand.

UMF 18+ Manuka Honey

The rating comprising of a single component Methylglyoxal, to give it its full name, is a key source of golden manuka honey’s special antibacterial properties and an important potency measure. The higher the MGO, the stronger the concentration of Methylglyoxal.

If there is no MGO or UMF rating stated on the label, then the honey has not been tested and certified. It is wise to be wary of labels that include the word ‘Manuka’ without an industry-accepted rating.  

The best Manuka honey is sourced in the beautiful New Zealand wilderness and is brought to you by people who care for the environment and really care for their bees.
