Honey + Other Bee Products - COMVITA - Funtional Honey Range - Products
Comvita UMF Manuka Honey is sourced from New Zealand's remote, pollution free native forests and is world renowned for its unique flavour. Comvita UMF Manuka Honeys for both the table and the first aid cabinet are tested for the unique antibacterial properties which make New Zealand Manuka honey famous.
Manuka Honey which is tested and proven to have the UMF® (Unique Manuka Factor) is labelled accordingly. Only honeys with a UMF® rating higher than 10 can use the UMF® trademark.
The NZ Honey Association has registered UMF® as a trademark so that the antibacterial activity of Manuka honey cannot be misrepresented. The UMF® number comes from a laboratory test for antibacterial activity, with the honey being compared with a standard reference antiseptic (phenol) for potency. UMF® 20+ would be equivalent in antiseptic potency to a 20% solution of phenol.
