MANUKA DOCTOR
New Zealand based company, Manuka Doctor, approached industry and government bodies with concerns about the lack of a standard definition for "raw" honey. They believed that the absence of a clear definition left consumers uncertain about what they were getting and exposed the industry to negative consequences.
To address this issue, Manuka Doctor sought out an organisation that provided certification with a systems-based approach to establish a standard. The result was the C.L.E.A.N. & R.A.W. food certification, which includes three critical elements: "Real", "Alive", and "Whole".
Manuka Doctor is now proud to be the only honey company globally to carry the R.A.W. Certification mark. The certification ensures that the honey is 100 percent safe, has all non-GMO ingredients, is alive with a high level of bioavailability, and is whole with a high level of organic ingredients and an ANDI nutrient score.
With new labels rolling onto retailer shelves, Manuka Doctor's commitment to providing high-quality, certified honey will help consumers make informed decisions and ensure the honey industry in New Zealand continues to thrive.

BE. LOCAL
Be. Local honey collective sources only pure, raw local honey (supporting small local beekeepers). Queenstown honey is sourced from Queenstown, Deep South from Southland, and Auckland local honey from Auckland.
They only source from great local beekeepers and then put their pure, unblended honey onto local shelves into Be. Local's iconic glass jars, under their trusted label. No more trucking across country, no mass blending, no mixing. Just pure, raw, local honey.
So, when you see Be. Local's brand, with GPS location, you know that the product was sourced locally nearby. And with a flying radius of around 5km – who knows! The honeybees might have even come visit your very garden, and the honey you’re eating might be some of your own sweet nectar!
