As we are testing one sample of each product, the presence and composition of various elements may vary from package to package. There may very well be inherent variability of the elements by lot and by individual unit. The findings that appear on our website, reflect our research at the time of publication, and may not be representative of other runs, lots, and even within an individual unit (e.g. bag, canisters, etc.) of the particular product tested. We cannot guarantee the accuracy of the information or analysis based thereupon. The evaluation also includes nutrition & ingredient quality. The results and findings are based on our own opinion and interpretation. The lab we use employs industry standard equipment and keeps it well maintained, but variances in instrumentation can cause variability or inaccuracies in the data and results. The lab data and results produce margins of error. Moreover, if there is any degradation, or if there are subsequent product reformulations or other factors, this information might no longer be current. Our database is dynamic, which means that the findings may change based on evolving science, new information, new product tests, or other factors. We make no representations or warranties about any of the findings on our site. We hereby disclaim all warranties with regard to the products on our site, including express, statutory, implied warranties of merchantability, or fitness for a particular purpose. Our Services are provided As-Is. If you believe that any of our findings are inaccurate, we invite you to notify us of this, along with any findings that support your opinion, at the following email address: info@cleanlabelproject.org. We will evaluate your data in due course, and if we conclude that our original information was inaccurate, we will promptly correct it.
