The Unique Manuka Factor Honey Association ( UMFHA ) created this grading system to identify genuine manuka honey. Ancient scrolls, tablets and books-Sumerian clay tablets (6200 BC), Egyptian papyri (1900–1250 BC), Veda (Hindu scripture) 5000 years, Holy Koran, Bible, and Hippocrates (460–357 BC) illustrated that honey had been widely used as a drug.

The Silver Fern is one of New Zealand's most recognised, long-standing, and respected national symbols. Medical-grade honey refers to honey that has been sterilised by gamma radiation, provides an indicator of the level of the honey’s antibacterial activity, is registered for medical purposes and meets national requirements for medical product labelling. The UMF TM rating reflects the concentration of 3 signature compounds found in genuine Manuka honey, MGO, DHA, and leptosperin. Honey dressings: Manuka honey is often mixed with polymers, sodium alginate, purified water, lanolin, and other natural agents.
