What “well documented” means
| Level | What is published |
|---|---|
| Basic | A “lab tested” claim, or a report with no batch number |
| Good | A batch-specific COA with metals and microbiology, from a named laboratory |
| Strong | A broad panel (metals, mycotoxins, pesticides, PAHs, microbiology), accredited laboratory, published production chain |
| Strongest | All of the above, plus speciation (inorganic arsenic) and current-batch composition |
