Professor Molan, who undertook much of the original research into manuka honey and it uses in medical cases (eg wounds), is quoted as saying:
"A very large percentage of the honey that is sold and claimed to have anti-bacterial action doesn't. Only the proper manuka honey does."
His concern today is the wide variety of honey products purporting to contain manuka.
