Leader in the Manuka honey industry for more than a decade, New Zealand natural healthcare company, Manuka Health New

The result follows what has been a year of impressive growth in Australia for the Te Awamutu founded company, with the
business growing over 30% for the last two years.
Commenting on the Reader’s Digest win, Manuka Health New Zealand General Manager Marketing, Research and Development – Kate Kember, says: “We’re absolutely thrilled to be recognised as the most trusted honey brand in Australia, one of our key international
markets.
“Our products are tightly monitored throughout the process from hive to home so we can assure our consumers that what’s
on the Manuka Health label, is in the pot. Gentle processing of our authentic New Zealand Manuka honey means our MGOTM
