The MPI mānuka honey definition has been implemented within the Animal Products Notice: General Export Requirements for Bee Products since February 2018. MPI consulted on whether or not to extend the mānuka honey definition used for export to honey sold in New Zealand from mid to late 2018. Concerns were raised by industry during the consultation that there was a lack of evidence of an issue with mānuka honey authenticity in the domestic market to justify regulation and associated increased testing costs.
To support decisions regarding the regulation of mānuka honey sold in New Zealand, MPI requires a survey of retail ready product sold domestically. This will be used to determine how much mānuka honey currently sold meets the MPI mānuka honey definition for both monofloral and multifloral mānuka honey.
In addition to this, MPI requires a survey, testing for the residues of glyphosate in honey to evaluate the trade risk for high value honey products.
This tender has been awarded.
