English term or phrase: Antibacterial Medical Honey
Hello,

We already have the translation of Antibacterial Medical Honey as Antibacteriële Medische Honing.

It has however been bought to our attention there may be a misinterpretation with this translation.
In this product the 'medical' honey refers to 'medical grade' honey and not 'medicinal' honey or therapeutic honey.

I would greatly appreciate it if you could confirm that Antibacteriële Medische Honing is the correct translation in terms of 'medical grade' honey and not 'medicinal' honey or whether a more suitable translation is appropriate.

Thank you very much in advance for your assistance.

agree  Harry Borsje: Although IMO the original translation is equally correct as the English term - also in Dutch one would use 'medicinale / therapeutische honing' to indicate it as an active substance (which it is not, I gather)

agree  Maleen Hof: This translation is a bit more reserved than the original one, which suits the context of the whole concept better.
