Berringa 100% Australian Manuka Honey 220MGO+ is a medium strength bioactive honey suitable for general wellbeing. It contains natural enzymes and antioxidants and is perfect as an additive for foods and drinks, or it can be taken by itself (we recommend between 1-3 spoons daily).
Antibacterial activity measurement of Manuka honey: UMF vs MGO
Manuka honey comes packaged with antibacterial activity measurement labelled on the jar. In this case it is MGO 220+. These numbers can be confusing, because there are different measurement systems in use!
MGO (or methylglyoxal) is a globally recognised measure of antibacterial activity. Berringa uses this proven measurement methodology to grade and verify the actual MGO activity levels for each batch using independent testing at NATA accredited laboratories.
UMF (unique manuka factor) is another system of measurement for antibacterial activity. While most countries use MGO as the standard measurement, UMF is usually associated with some Manuka honey products from New Zealand.




Like all Berringa’s antibacterial Manuka Honey, each batch is tested by
independent NATA accredited laboratories, so you can be sure when it
says MGO220+ the methylglyoxal level is at least that.
