What kind of honey is manuka honey?

By the Food Sanitation Act, every edible product must come with a best before date.

These best before dates are carefully assessed to ensure their validity. If an item is deemed to be best up to 1 year after manufacturing, the item is monitored and tested over 14 months. Typically, honey is said to be best 2 to 5years after manufacturing.

However, it is important to note that these dates are not expiration dates.
