Does this honey have a UMF rating? Saying it is Bio Active 10+ does not mean it is antibacterial or 100% Manuka.

I do not know--we would have to "research" it. The label on the package says it has "activity levels certified by an independent validated laboratory" and that we can "be assured of the rating in every batch of Manuka Doctor honey." Further, "The total activity rating is a reflection of naturally occurring peroxide activity levels." I know that I DO like this Manuka honey and would probably most likely purchase it again! But that's me!

The UMF rating is something that vendors must pay for to show the standard of the product, similar to the certified organic labels we see often. It is an added level of quality control. This type is not a UMF rated product but the 10+ is a measurement of the peroxide activity levels that their labs have detected. It is a great product for the price and I would buy it again but be aware of the umf rating as some brands are charging a premium price for non- umf rated honey so be mindful of that when shopping for your honey.

UMF doesn't seem to appear on the Wedderspoon label or website, which means this probably isn't UMF honey at all. Wedderspoon's 'Active' rating doesn't appear to be backed up by any official standard, whereas UMF measures the important, stable non-peroxide activity.

I suggest you contact the company and ask them these questions. All I can tell you is what's on the bottle. On the bottle it says "Since 1973 we've partnered with local beekeepers to bring you the finest pure raw honey." " We only use low temperature melting and simple straining to maintain all the pollens, enzymes, vitamins and minerals that overheating and force-filtering destroy." On the front it says" raw & gently filtered". I've been using this honey for years and love the flavor. If you're looking for the company's definition of these specific words you'll have to ask them.

The rating only counts IF you are purchasing Pure Manuka honey. If the company does not have the UMF license - then the honey is probably a blend of honeys & who knows how much might be Manuka honey. Go to http://www.umf.org.nz/licensees - to check out a list of Manuka Honey licensees

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. :)

It only says 100% pure but not organic. It works great anyway!! It is also helping with a scar that I have since I was a little girl ;)

I attempted to research the products you asked about but was unable to come up with anything showing percentages of honey in each product. Sorry. I just know that Dr. Nordyk's Wound Honey helped to heal the ulcers in my feet. I wish you good health.

According to the labeling, it is USDA certified organic raw, unprocessed honey and it looks like it is. I can tell you that it has benefited me as far as a skin rash that I had for more than 5 years and it went away after taking this. It works wonders on open cuts and sores! I keep this stuff around all the time.

i agree about the labeling. i bought the 400 because someone had suggested it. i was no longer able to buy the manuka dr. brand w 24+ umf. rating. this is frustrating, as one wants the best for their very costly buck. 400 sounded very strong and i ended up with less than i previously purchased. i agree that it doesn't taste great, that's why i only use it for medicinal purposes. so much product goes through amazon, that one would think that they could influence or force proper labeling. i had been told NOT to buy a product without a specific UMF code. thanks.......

I totally agree with the previous comment listed below and would like to add- although it is 100% pure honey- it is for topical use only. A fine product.

Number shown with + rates antibacterial property present in active Manuka Honey, and indicates the therapeutic benefits in the honey.

Sorry Beth, I finished that bottle and no longer have it. I am using Wedderspoon New Zealand Manuka Honey and that label says, "Active 16+". (also excellent)

It is raw....(not stated on the container) but the research I have done on this honey indicates it is raw honey....you will recognize the enormous good the honey does for your body. Highly recommend it.

Probably, otherwise they'd make a splash about it on the label. But I don't know for sure. It is non-bovine, i read on one seller's site (vita springs), ask them they might know? Read the reviews here for other possible good quality sources.

I will write what is on the label: We only use low temperature melting and simple straining to maintain all the pollens, enzymes, vitamins and minerals that overheating and force-filtering destroy. This is just a part of the wording. On the front it states: RAW AND GENTLY FILTERED and pure honey.

Sorry, I'm not familiar with bio active. This is not listed on the label. Is there something else you I can look for to help answer this question?

Hi Bette, Thank you for your great question. Our ASBI Certified Premium Grade A Unrefined Shea Butter is 100% all natural, has passed high measures for safety, performance and shelf life and has the highest healing fraction and moisturizing fraction of any Shea Butter product or any natural skincare product available. Many people are unaware of this. As ASBI has communicated, it receives a "Gold Medal" in both healing and moisturizing and is for use on any skin type and on any skin on the body. Our current batch has actually been given the designation of 'Best Shea Butter In The World' by ASBI due to it's high test score during laboratory testing. All our batches score very high on the ASBI test and we make available our ASBI Grading Analysis for our batches upon request. That being said, our Shea Butter has it's greatest healing and moisturizing ability when simply used alone. By adding anything to pure Premium Grade A Shea Butter it may diminish some of the bioactive/healing properties, so we advise against doing that. For those customers of ours who are do-it-your-selfers and like to mix their Shea Butter with other things like Essential Oils, there is an ASBI approved safe and effective way to melt your Premium Grade A Shea Butter to preserve its bioactive/healing properties as best as possible (NOTE: do not heat in microwave.) We are happy to provide this to our customers upon request so that they may follow the instructions. Best results are typically seen within 4-6 week of regular use. Please stay in touch so that we may best serve you and enable you to have the best experience with our Premium Shea Butter. We'd love to be able to assist you with your unique situation as best we can. We want to make sure you are 100% happy with our product. Hopefully, this is helpful to you.
