is Manuka Doctor Bio Honey from new zealand and is it certified by the UMF Association of New Zealand. Is it the same, better or not as good as others

I'm afraid I cannot say whether it is better or not. I take it for a terminal lung condition and it has noticeably reduced my cough. To be honest, I hate honey at the best of times! I use the Manuka Doctor because it was recommended to me. I hope this helps.

Check out their website for answers! I only purchased at a good price and as long as it is not from China I'm happy. It was very good honey! Just because I purchased this item via Amazon does not make me an expert on the honey. Read the labels on the site. :)

They don't rate their honey. Check their website; they say that ratings are not reliable. All I can say is this: I have tried many Manuka honey, with ratings 10+, to 20+, and supposedly higher (they changed the rating system by the way); and, this honey is as good I have had.Hope this helps!

What you're looking for is the Non-Peroxide Activity (NPA) rating.This honey doesn't seem to carry a UMF/NPA rating so the "Active 16+" could mean anything, or nothing. At this price you can be pretty sure it's not proper UMF honey.

I don't understand the question however if the question is What does Manuka stand for? Manuka is a flower plant from New Zealand that has antibacterial effects. See this link http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/M%C4%81nuka_honey.

NO. It is NOT APPROVED. These companies ARE: http://www.umf.org.nz/licenseesMoreover, this company is being sued for making such claims.

The Manuka Honey I have had from Wedderspoon and a couple other brands does have a darker dense cloudy appearance then the honey we are used to in the super market in the USA. It has the consistance, to me, of paste with texture. Hope this helps.

The USDA does not enforce or have a department for organic honey certification. The USDA will actually NOT certify honey. But countries from outside of the USA can actually import honey and say its organic. Then they can mark it as such. If you see a USDA Certified Organic honey it is NOT a product of the USA or its from a beekeeper who sells less than $10,000 worth of honey in a year. If you sell under that amount you aren't held to any labeling restrictions.

I stopped buying the honey because it is not certified or labeled in any way organic and do not remember where it said on the label it was from

My jar of Manuka honey has a warning that says "Not suitable for children under 4 years of age". The brand I have is called Manuka Health.

It cannot be compared to the MGO or UMF rating systems. Bioactive 24+ is a confusing rating system probably designed to be similar to the UMF rating system to propel sales. Bioactive 24+ rating system measures peroxide activity only and all honey have peroxide. UMF or MGO measure non-peroxide activity and that's what matters when considering Manuka honey.

I'm sorry. I don't remember any kosher certification with these honey sticks. And the original packaging is long gone. Leah

In order for honey to be USDA certified organic it cannot come from the US. The only countries that have honey that can be classified organic is Canada and Brazil.. hence why you see that on the label. This company has HQ's in Illinois but the honey is not made or from bees in the United States. It has something to do with the air quality required and the conditions cannot be found in the US.

The UMF rating system was developed to measure the activity level of Manuka Honeys. The UMF rating actually tests the antibacterial performance of a honey and compares it to phenol, a disinfectant. This means that a UMF rating of 20+ is equivalent in strength to a 20% solution of phenol. All Manuka Honey that has a UMF rating of more than 10 is highly active honey and therefore known as Active Manuka Honey. The ideal UMF rating varies depending on your purpose, but laboratory studies have shown that manuka honey with a non-peroxide activity level of UMF12 to UMF15 is effective against a wide range of very resistant bacteria. Hope this answer helps it comes from the Aliveplus honey website. Hope this answers your questions.
