Message: <blockquote data-quote="frazzledfozzle" data-source="post: 5229" data-attributes="member: 57">any tweak that means a previous non manuka is miraculously turned into manuka is a change.What gets me Is the standard is something that a few people in business suits have come up with because they “needed to do something”  since the “ standard ” was brought in some people’s honey has become unsaleable.Our honey, which used to pass the Codex standard for manuka honey, is some years mono some years multi or non manuka.We never used to have to blend honey it was sold pure as the bees collected it but now blending is an absolute necessity.We have to buy half a drum of high 2map to turn 4 tonne of 5+ non manuka into mono manuka because our 2 map came back at 4.8 .This is ridiculous how can 150kg of honey turn 4000kg of honey from a non manuka to a mono manuka.Only the boffins in suits and lab coats could come up with a standard like this.</blockquote>
