It’s concerning how many "research" retailers are popping up today and relying solely on Certificates of Analysis from their product’s suppliers. Trusting a COA without independent verification isn’t just risky—it undermines consumer trust and gives regulators all the reason they need to crack down.
🧪 The Danger Behind Manufacturer-Provided COAs
Certificates of Analysis are basically receipts—proof that someone tested the product. But if that someone is the manufacturer who stands to profit, the results aren’t as objective as you’d hope.
😡 A Major Manufacturer Got It Wrong
Recently, a very of the large manufacturers in our space was found to have contaminated products. When third-party tests caught the issue, they denied it…until they couldn't. This isn’t just a hiccup—it’s evidence that manufacturer-issued COAs alone can’t be trusted.
💥The Power of Third-Party Testing
Here's why third-party COAs matter:
1. Objective sampling – Independent labs aren’t tied to the brand, so their results are more trustworthy.
2. Transparency & Verification – Third-party labs often publish methods and detection limits, making it easier to compare across suppliers.
3. Protecting Everyone Involved — Independent testing doesn’t just protect buyers — it safeguards the reputation of the seller and the future of the industry as a whole.
