Waitemata company has been licensed by the Active Manuka Honey Association the use of UMF as a trademark registration. The value of the (Grant No. 1014) UMF is measured by independent research institutes, have been guaranteed that there is no height and antibiotic residues of quality. 1980s, therapeutic honey research team of New Zealand National Waikato University, discovered that honey is sterilized in the human body only bacteria. In order to assess the efficacy of antibacterial action of honey, we have devised a grading by the test method and the non-peroxide activity. The grade by the non-peroxide activity will be determined on the basis of the standard experiment of antibacterial action of honey. By comparison with the antibacterial efficacy of a standard antiseptic phenol, divided into grades, such as the honey 10 (phenol 10% equivalent) Toka 15 (phenol 15% equivalent), it shows the antibacterial activity in that number. "UMF numerical value = phenol dilution%" typical honey UMF0 ~ 1 degree, to the manuka honey is UMF0.5 ~ about 4 that does not contain the UMF, this value manuka honey UMF10 or more, including the UMF is and the other honey it has long been used as a guide when purchasing a manuka honey with antibacterial force missing jump compared. Also because New Zealand's honey is prohibited the use of antibiotics in the law there is also a safety.
