Behind the stamp
More than a honey label.
We have worked with medical grade honey for over 18 years. Drawing on that experience, we created our own quality standard: MGH™. It is not just about processing — independent laboratory testing, supplier qualification, full batch traceability and reviewed documentation are central to certification. We ensure the honey meets this standard before selling it in bulk or for manufacturing.
Explore the certification standardThe MGH™ quality mark does not replace medical-device approval or establish that every certified honey is suitable for wound care.
The standard
Quality behind the mark.
Requirements matched to your use.
The MGH™ stamp of approval is built on controlled handling, independent laboratory certification and traceable records. Additional requirements depend on the intended use — from cosmetics and veterinary formulations to regulated wound-care products.

Varieties
MGH™ is not one honey.
It is a standard.
MGH™ spans a range of honey varieties, and a floral name alone does not earn the stamp — each honey must meet the handling and quality requirements for its intended use. Manuka is our specialism. Explore the varieties and their characteristics.

Frequently asked
What does MGH™ Certified mean?
Questions about the quality mark and the standard behind it. Our educational reference material remains available in the articles and science sections. Patients and carers should start with our medical honey patient guide.
- What is MGH™ Certified?
- MGH™ is our own honey quality standard, created from over 18 years working with medical grade honey. Certification covers processing, independent laboratory testing and full batch traceability — not processing alone.
- What sits behind the stamp of approval?
- Controlled sourcing and handling, product characterisation, independent laboratory testing, batch traceability and reviewed documentation form the foundation of the MGH™ standard.
- Is MGH™ only for Manuka honey?
- No. MGH™ spans a range of honey varieties, and a variety name or an MGO number alone does not establish certification. Manuka is our specialism, and every honey — whatever its floral source — is assessed against the specification for its intended use.
- Does the MGH™ stamp mean a product is approved for wound care?
- Not by itself. MGH™ certification concerns honey quality and handling. Sterility, clinical suitability and any required medical-device clearance must be established separately for the finished product and its intended use.
- How can I buy MGH™ Certified honey?
- We ensure honey is MGH™ Certified to our release standards before selling it in bulk or for manufacturing, including advanced wound care in human and animal health, cosmetics and skincare. Contact us with your required honey variety, quantity and intended application to discuss supply and supporting batch documentation.
- Do you offer anything besides honey supply?
- Yes. We consult globally with medical companies entering the honey-based product market, from cosmetics and creams to advanced wound care. Alongside worldwide supply, we offer specification and sourcing advice, category orientation, marketing support and launch messaging. See our services for what each involves.
