Higher Standards
Midlands Apiaries believes production processes and quality assurance standards are paramount to running a successful honey operation. Our purpose-built packing facility operates a HACCP-based National Programme and is a Level 3-certified SQF food production facility, licensed and inspected by New Zealand's Ministry of Primary Industry (MPI).
Our state-of-the-art equipment blends honey to your specifications. When passing our stringent quality standards, using custom-made machinery, our honey then goes through the following steps:
- Deposited into a jar of your choice
- Weighed for accuracy
- Passed through a metal detector
- Custom label adheres to the jar
- Packed carefully into retail-ready packaging
- Stacked on a pallet, ready for transport
Food Security
Focusing on high-quality production processes and quality assurance standards should be at the forefront of all Mānuka honey packaging. Subsequently, this is why our purpose-built packing facility operates as a HACCP national programme certified as an SQF Level 3 certified food production facility.
These certifications will give your product customer confidence due to verifications from the Ministry of Primary Industries. Food safety is a priority for most countries when goods are imported; we take it upon ourselves to ensure that all necessary criteria are met for all countries.
We manage the quality of honey throughout the entire production process. While following the stringent guidelines for honey, we finish with an induction seal and then finally apply a lid with a positive action tamper-evident ring - ensuring the authenticity of your honey when it arrives.
