    The document outlines the tests for determining whether honey is monofloral or multifloral mānuka honey. It states that for monofloral mānuka honey, the honey must meet all five test attributes, which include having four specific chemicals present in certain levels and detecting DNA from mānuka pollen. For multifloral mānuka honey, the honey needs the same four chemicals present at different levels and must also test positive for mānuka pollen DNA.
