April 19, 2019 - from Reuters:
Auckland-based Evergreen Life Ltd, "a New Zealand company pleaded guilty on Thursday to charges of adding artificial chemicals to its premium manuka honey." "Evergreen had been allegedly adding synthetic chemicals to increase the levels of the anti-bacterial agents, allowing the company to sell the honey at a higher price."
"Manuka is also considered to have better antibacterial properties than other honey, partly because it naturally contains an omega acid called DHA and an antacid known as MGO. "
