Antibacterial Medical Honey

English to Dutch Medical Medical (general) Product Name
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.

antibacteriële honing voor medische toepassingen

IMO this is what you are looking for. Although I would not say that the original translation is absolutely incorrect, this description might be more common. It is an ingredient for healing oinment.
Peer comment(s):

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.
