Lab Reports &
Quality Assurance
Every Batch Tested. Every Jar Verified.
At Original Mad Honey, quality, purity, and authenticity are our highest priorities. Every batch of our Himalayan Mad Honey undergoes rigorous quality control and laboratory analysis before it is approved for packaging and worldwide distribution.
From wild harvesting in the Himalayan mountains of Nepal to final packaging, every stage follows strict quality procedures to help ensure customers receive authentic, safe, and premium mad honey.
Unfiltered Safety Protocols
Our raw harvests are cataloged immediately upon clearing mountaineer logistics. Full trace chromatograms map precise safe grayanotoxin-I and II percentages.

Strict Internal Mandate
Our Quality Standards
Our laboratory checks ensure that only pure, active, and perfectly preserved Nepalese cliff-honey enters consumer packages. We test to check off each of the parameters below:
Purity Verification
Checks that our shipments remain 100% pure, organic honey with absolutely zero added cane syrups, starch additives, or artificial thickeners.
Moisture Content
Ensuring precise ambient moisture density to avert premature honey fermentation without reducing the thick traditional texture.
Grayanotoxin Profile
Analyzing the exact diterpene concentrations (Grayanotoxin-I & II) to calibrate dosage guidelines accurately.
Pollen Analysis
Confirms the presence of authentic Rhododendron Luteum and Rhododendron Ponticum pollen spores, verifying geographical Nepalese origins.
Sugar Profile
Calculates relative ratios of fructose and glucose. Helps rule out artificial syrup feeding or honey diluting.
Heavy Metal Screening
Strict screening for Lead, Mercury, Arsenic, and Cadmium to prove zero environmental runoff contamination.
Microbiological Safety
Scanning for bacteria such as E. coli, Salmonella, yeasts, and molds to certify safe consumer storage.
Visual & Packaging Inspection
Inspects sealing integrity and color quality to ensure no environmental contaminants enter during transit.
Batch Traceability
Maps each unique jar back to its respective cliff location, collection date, and testing timeline using the batch serial code.
Complete Chemical Analysis
Our Laboratory Testing Criteria
We run targeted screens for every single component. Here is exactly what our labs look for and measure:
Physico-Chemical Analysis
Moisture Content
Measures water density. Standard target is below 18.5%.
Hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF)
Confirms raw status. Low values prove the honey hasn't been overheated or artificially pasteurized.
Fructose & Glucose Levels
Ratios prove natural foraging and authenticate raw state.
Pollen Identification
Authenticates floral source and verifies Nepalese geography.
Grayanotoxin Analysis
Confirms concentration of Grayanotoxin-I and Grayanotoxin-II.
Microbiology & Heavy Metals Safety
Heavy Metals Screening
Screens for Lead, Mercury, Arsenic, and Cadmium.
Yeast & Mold Count
Ensures stability and prevents quality deterioration.
Salmonella Screening
Ensures total safety from biological bacteria.
E. coli Testing
Confirms pure sanitation throughout extraction and packaging.
Total Plate Count (TPC)
Maintains complete hygienic profile across all yields.
- How to Trace Your Jar
Locate Your Batch ID
Turn your jar to find the golden batch identification code printed at the bottom of the informational label. Enter this ID into our lookup tool below to pull your jar’s chromatography profile instantly.

Batch Traceability
Every jar includes a unique batch number that allows complete traceability from harvesting through packaging. Customers can match their batch number with the corresponding Certificate of Analysis (COA) available on this page.
Our commitment is absolute: we keep exact, unblended cataloging logs of every collection. We do not blend multiple regional harvests, preserving the exact botanical footprint of each specific cliff location.

1. Good Processing (GP)
Raw combs are processed in an airtight, dust-free food laboratory in Kathmandu. We employ cold gravitational filtration to settle natural honey yields:
- No Pasteurization: Kept strictly under 35°C (95°F) to ensure enzymes and natural active grayanotoxins remain intact.
- Single Filtration: Coarse stainless-steel filters remove larger wax particles while allowing natural microscopic rhododendron pollen spores to remain.
2. Good Storage
Practices (GSP)
Raw mad honey is extremely sensitive to heat fluctuation, solar exposure, and humidity. Our facility features specialized holding rooms:
- Stainless Steel 316L Drums: Non-reactive, food-grade storage drums isolate honey from any potential material leaching or plastic microparticles.
- Climate Controlled: Ambient warehouse storage is kept strictly between 18°C and 22°C with controlled relative humidity (below 50%) to mitigate ambient moisture re-absorption.
3. Good Packaging (GPK)
To preserve the bio-active molecules, final bottling happens under strict sanitary frameworks prior to international air shipping:
- Dark Amber Glass Jars: Prevents UV light penetration which degrades critical enzymes and organic compounds over transit periods.
- Hermetic Gasket Seals: Airtight silicone gaskets block oxygen ingress, safeguarding against oxidation and product deterioration during high-altitude air travel.
