A company that misled consumers about a product being sourced from local bees and made in New Zealand has been fined $16,000 in the Auckland District Court.
NZ Korea Health was fined after pleading guilty to nine breaches of the Fair Trading Act.
Sang Rae Kim, also known as Jonathan Ken, was also fined $12,000 after pleading guilty to two breaches of the act.
Kim was responsible for labelling the royal jelly as New Zealand sourced and made, and as being of superior quality when it was made from imported, powdered ingredients.
This is the third time the Commerce Commission has prosecuted Kim and his associated companies for such breaches.
NZ Korea Health labelled the imported royal jelly - a bee secretion used to feed larvae and used in dietary supplements - as a product of New Zealand, as made in New Zealand and used the Buy New Zealand Made logo.
It also had an image of a kiwi carrying the New Zealand flag with the wording "Kiwi and quality from New Zealand" on the product.
The only local ingredients were a small amount of white beeswax, used to preserve the royal jelly, and water used to make the capsule shell.
The company also said the product was of a high potency, when it wasnot.
Buy New Zealand Made spokeswoman Trina Snow said most businesses that said their products were made and sourced here were legitimate but some, especially in the health and tourism sectors, abused the brand.
"When companies are caught incorrectly labelling their products with country of origin, consumers are going to be weary of products claiming to be New Zealand made."
Snow said if businesses were caught using the label without being certified by the company, it "put a stop to it pretty quickly".
The commission said the misrepresentations on the label of the NZ Korea Health product were deliberate, and would have led consumers to pay more than the product was worth.
This is the third royal jelly case the commission has investigated where the product claimed false country of origin and potency.

As recent as 28th September the Commerce Commission has successfully prosecuted five companies for “passing off” internationally sourced Royal Jelly in capsule form, for fresh Royal Jelly produced in New Zealand. The latest ruling being NZ Korea Health Ltd, fined $16,000 for labelling imported royal jelly as New Zealand-made.
Apart from these producers falsely using the NZ made symbol, Why is this such a big deal? In this case NZ simply is best. Producers have being falsely improving the potency of their inferior imported powdered Royal Jelly that has lower standards and active ingredients than Fresh NZ Royal Jelly.
FACT: NZ Royal Jelly has the highest levels of active ingredients 10HDA worldwide. Royal Jelly’s active ingredients ‘10HDA’ is highly sought after worldwide because of the high potency of vitamins and proteins which can give a variety of health benefits.
New Zealand’s largest royal jelly producer Happy Valley Honey has been impacted by the actions of producers passing off inferior products and is concerned that the impact on their business for some time. This practice of false label claims has cost Happy Valley Honey alone, over $200,000 in potential business annually, says Mark Harvey, General Manager, Happy Valley Honey.
‘The current issue is ‘95% of the royal jelly market is sold in capsule form, but very little if any of the Royal Jelly included in the capsules is produced in New Zealand’. It is imported predominantly from China then lyophilised (freeze dried) into powder and mixed with other ingredients’ states Mr Harvey.
Royal jelly consumed in a natural liquid state is more beneficial as when taken it can be adsorbed directly via the salivary glands into the bloodstream thus providing the benefits that royal jelly is renowned for. Capsules are digested via the gut.
New Zealand fresh royal jelly is considered to be the best in the world, producers such as Happy Valley Honey are suggesting that consumers should:
-check labels before buying
-Ask about the source of the Royal Jelly
-Stick to purchasing from NZ Producers
Not all Royal Jelly being sold in NZ is from overseas manufacturers,
Happy Valley Honey are selling their fresh Royal Jelly in the jelly’s natural state and also supplies Api Health with the Royal Jelly to produce a Royal Jelly & colostrum tablet.
Consumers should therefore not steer away from Royal Jelly here in NZ, but check the manufacturer’s origin first.
