Mānuka 5 Attributes

Mānuka 5 Attributes - Next day TAT

Our Mānuka 5 Attributes test is the MPI science definition of Mānuka honey, as announced 11 April 2017. This test is for MPI's General Requirement for Export (GREX) for honey.

The definition uses 5 attributes (4 chemical markers and a DNA marker) that when present in honey at specified levels provide evidence that the honey is New Zealand Mānuka Honey, either monofloral or multifloral, depending on the concentration of one of the chemical markers.
