MPI 5 Attributes - Chemical and DNA Markers
MPI 5 Attributes - Manuka Testing
As of December 2017, MPI have enforced a set of requirements for testing of honey for export that is packed and labelled as a monofloral or multifloral mānuka honey.
The MPI definition consists of five attributes which include four chemical markers (MPI Mānuka Chemical Markers) and a DNA marker from mānuka pollen (MPI Mānuka DNA Marker). All five attributes need to pass MPI’s definition for the honey to be labelled as mono-floral Mānuka, or multi-floral Mānuka, for export.
In order to be classified as either a monofloral mānuka or multifloral mānuka the honey must meet minimum levels for all components of the MPI 5 Attributes test including both the chemical and DNA markers.
Please note, the MPI 5 Attributes (GREX) does not apply to honey being traded within NZ. For up to date information regarding these export requirements, please refer to the MPI website.
