Follow up on new ManukaCare

Just to follow up on our last post about the new tubes of the popular Comvita Manukacare that are now available.

It has now gained a license as a medical device (in the UK).

Comvita Manukacare now carries a CE mark. (number 0805). This indicates its regulation status as a medical device and behind each one of these marks is technical agreement necessary to manufacture the product to the required standard.

The new version does still contain UMF rated manuka honey. This is not shown on the pack as it now has a medical devices license for this product which now allows greater claims as to the ability of the product to be stated. For example we can now claim 'first aid ready', 'suitable for most wound types' and 'reduces the risk of infection from bacteria including MRSA' (Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus - the nasty antibiotic resistant superbug). You will see these now mentioned on the packaging.
