If UMF® Manuka Honey is considered to have active healing properties, why is it listed in the inactive ingredients list on the Honeymark website and labels?
Even though Manuka Honey has medicinal value and is effective in treating a wide variety of different health conditions, honey is not yet considered to be an FDA recognized drug. Therefore, Honeymark is limited in terms of marketing Manuka Honey as a medicine or an active ingredient within the United States. Ministries of Health and other foreign FDA equivalents in other countries have already approved Manuka Honey as a medicine. Hopefully the U.S. will catch up soon.
