Biosota Organics’ MGO 1200+ Manuka Honey Wins Gold + Editor’s Choice at the 2026 Clean + Conscious Awards

Australian-made Certified Organic Manuka Honey recognised as Best Immune Booster 2026 for exceptional quality, potency and commitment to clean, ethical and sustainable practices

GOLD COAST, AUSTRALIA – August 2026 – Biosota Organics is proud to announce that its Certified Organic Manuka Honey MGO 1200+ NPA 25+ has received a prestigious Gold Award and Editor’s Choice Award in the Best Immune Booster 2026 category at the Clean + Conscious Awards.

The double award recognises Biosota’s premium Manuka Honey for its exceptional quality and potency, while also acknowledging the brand’s broader commitment to clean ingredients, ethical practices, sustainability and positive social impact.

The Clean + Conscious Awards are dedicated to recognising products that demonstrate a commitment to healthier people, animals and the planet. Biosota’s MGO 1200+ Manuka Honey was evaluated not only as a high-potency health product, but in the wider context of how it is produced, packaged and brought to consumers.

Award Assessment & Judging Criteria

Before reaching the Expert Panel, every product undergoes a comprehensive assessment of its ingredients or materials, sustainability, ethical practices and social impact. Only products
meeting the Clean + Conscious Awards' rigorous standards progress to hands-on testing.

Finalists are then independently reviewed by the 2026 Expert Panel, made up of 90 respected experts from Australia and New Zealand. Over four weeks, each product is carefully evaluated for quality, performance, innovation, sustainability and overall impact.
Only the products that truly excel across every stage of the judging process receive Gold, Silver, Bronze or Editor's Choice recognition.

Why this Award matters

The Clean + Conscious Awards exist to make it easier for people to discover products they can genuinely trust.

As conscious consumerism continues to grow, many people are looking beyond marketing
claims and seeking products that are not only effective, but also safe, ethical and
environmentally responsible. The Awards help bridge that gap by celebrating businesses
creating products with integrity while giving consumers independent, trusted recommendations.

Now in their eighth year, the Clean + Conscious Awards remain Australia's and New Zealand's leading Awards dedicated to recognising products that are safe, ethical, sustainable and socially responsible.

MGO 1200+ Recognised for exceptional potency and quality

Biosota Certified Organic Manuka Honey MGO 1200+ contains exceptionally high levels of naturally occurring methylglyoxal (MGO), a naturally occurring compound widely studied for its antimicrobial activity.

The premium Manuka Honey is Australian-made, certified organic, raw and pure, with every batch independently tested in accredited laboratories for MGO levels, Non-Peroxide Activity (NPA) and safety compliance. The honey is harvested from remote Australian bushland by a third-generation Australian beekeeping family.

The Clean + Conscious expert reviewers highlighted the product’s potency, purity and sensory quality, with reviewer Laura McNee describing the flavour as an impressive balance of sweetness and bitterness and noting the confidence that comes from independent laboratory testing of MGO levels.

Reviewer Shan Cooper was particularly impressed by the product’s overall quality and presentation, describing it as a product that “absolutely WOWED” her, while highlighting the depth of care and responsibility evident throughout the Biosota business.

Another reviewer, Arjun Sudhir, praised the honey’s purity and smoothness, as well as its organic, single-origin credentials and distinctive violet glass packaging.

Clean ingredients from hive to jar

The award recognition extends beyond the honey itself.

Biosota’s Certified Organic Manuka Honey is made using certified organic ingredients and is non-GMO and free from antibiotics, glyphosates and pesticides.

The brand maintains full traceability from hive to jar, with rigorous independent testing helping verify the quality, potency and safety of every batch.

This commitment to transparency was specifically recognised by the Clean + Conscious reviewers, who highlighted Biosota’s third-party testing, supply chain transparency and responsible beekeeping practices.

Ethical beekeeping and sustainable practices

Biosota works with Australian beekeepers who harvest certified organic Manuka Honey from remote bushland while prioritising long-term colony health.

Sustainable harvesting practices are designed to support bee welfare and avoid over-harvesting, while hives are managed without synthetic chemicals, antibiotics or genetically modified inputs.

The brand has also made sustainability a key consideration throughout its packaging and operations. Its premium Manuka Honey is presented in long-life violet glass jars, alongside BPA- and phthalate-free PET packaging options, while its packaging partner, Pharmapac, operates as a zero-net-waste manufacturer with Toitū Envirocare Enviro-Mark Diamond Certification.

Solar panels provide renewable energy for operations, while careful batch production, raw extraction and inventory management help reduce waste and emissions.

Creating positive impact beyond the honey jar

Biosota’s commitment to wellbeing extends beyond its products.

The company supports community and environmental initiatives through fundraising, donations and team participation, including support for Cancer Council Australia’s Daffodil Day, the Gold Coast Hospital Foundation, Beyond Blue and the Mater Foundation.

Biosota also participates in grassroots environmental initiatives such as Containers for Change, with over 5,000 containers saved from landfill and proceeds donated to Rainforest Rescue.

This broader approach to social responsibility was recognised by the Clean + Conscious Awards, with reviewers noting that Biosota’s positive impact extends well beyond the product itself.

A recognition of what Biosota stands for

For Biosota Organics, the Gold and Editor’s Choice awards represent more than recognition for a high-potency Manuka Honey.

They reflect the company’s philosophy that quality, purity, transparency, sustainability and social responsibility should exist together.

“We’re incredibly proud to receive both the Gold Award and Editor’s Choice recognition from the Clean + Conscious Awards,” said Andrey Zubko, Biosota Organics.

“Producing exceptional Manuka Honey has always been about more than achieving a high MGO number. It’s about protecting the integrity of the honey from hive to jar, caring for the bees and environment that make it possible, maintaining rigorous testing and traceability, and contributing positively to the communities around us.

“To have these values recognised alongside the quality and potency of our MGO 1200+ Manuka Honey is particularly meaningful to our team.”

The Clean + Conscious Awards recognition adds to the growing recognition of Biosota Organics’ commitment to producing premium Australian Manuka Honey with purpose, integrity and transparency.
