> A group of New Zealand honey producers working to trademark the term m?nuka honey say they are considering their options, after the United Kingdom rejected their application.
> The Manuka Honey Appellation Society began the process of trademarking the words in 2015, but in 2020, the M?nuka Charitable Trust was established to take over the effort.
> With funding help from the government, it is working to trademark the word m?nuka in international markets, so that only honey from New Zealand can be called m?nuka.
> The trust argued m?nuka honey refers to honey that comes from the nectar of the Leptospermum scoparium tree in Aotearoa New Zealand and has unique properties that are not found in honey produced in other countries.
> "We remain strongly of the view that it is misleading to consumers for honey producers outside of Aotearoa New Zealand to claim the name m?nuka honey when the plant the nectar came from did not grow in Aotearoa."
> "This definition requires that all honey exported from New Zealand under the name m?nuka honey meets test requirements, ensuring it is unadulterated and true to labelling."
