Manuka honey also got a lot of fake. Real one should be available in New Zealand manuka honey website, with their ratings.

There are two quite good ways of determining if a honey is fake or not.
1. Buy directly from beekeeper/gatherer
2. Check ingredients and buy from trusted manufacturer.

Most other tricks don't work or give alot of false positives.

beware,now fake one they put ant poison inside

No access to no 1
No2 is the problem

Nothing fancy, I remember doing it with some honey I bought straight from a farm in Korea years ago. The harvester said just watch the honey set, and you'll be able to see honeycomb shapes.

I put some honey into a glass, and..... Honeycomb shapes

I didn't even add water, it was just honey

why ant poison

The nz honey association kata 10 ton per yr only but got 100 ton manuka honey export out nz go figure.

Nz manuka honey I only go for comvita brand. Intro by locals there.

The 10 ton is only for registered brand right? 100 ton includes those non registered i guess.

10/10 amon

Another scenario

In 1 kg packaging =10% manuka honey + 90% other honey
Labelling : real manuka honey

I not sure, i buy from eu yan sang, say good for building antibodi or so. Not too sweet if compare tepi jalan honey. Bit like flowery taste. Yeah quite diff.

Manuka honey is control one like kiwi control by nz glc what yr saying is nonsense .

Got manuka brand not registered also.

Yes blend, local nz law dont have stric honey law. Sos youtube nz tv station

Nope, only registered product with primary industry department can export out of nz.

Lol obviously there got manuka honey label here that is not registered under manuka association. If i have time i will search for you.

And the top brands already undergo lab test to determine the umf or mgo factor. The only factor thats not reliable is k factor. And if you notice, those brands that use k factor are selling cheap and some brand not even in manuka association.

I always advice people to only buy from these 3 reputable brands;

-summerglow (the best. License no #1 in manuka association. But sadly not available in malaysia. Need to import)

- komvita (expensive shit but worth it)

- manuka health (best balance for me. I always buy this every 2 months)

That's only one locally introduced?

Noticed that comvita sold at shopee at official page was selling at RM189 for 250g

Thanks for sharing, at least I can know which one is real honey and at least has a comparator.

Did you scoop your honey with metal spoon?
