Criterion-by-criterion evidence
Every score below is a recorded, dated observation. Where we could not verify a claim, the criterion is marked Unverified and excluded from the score (but it still counts against coverage).
| Criterion | Wt | Finding | Evidence |
|---|---|---|---|
| Publishes CoAsThe vendor publishes at least one certificate of analysis (CoA) on its own website. | 3 | ✘ No | The page claims per-batch CoAs "on every product page" but the sampled product renders NONE; the us.com domain emails CoAs on request only. Source · 2026-07-09 |
| Batch-level CoAsCoAs are tied to a specific batch/lot number, not a single generic certificate per product. | 3 | ? Unverified | Not verified — no evidence on record. |

| CoA verifiable at sourceThe CoA can be authenticated on the laboratory's own website (e.g. a verification code) — actually tested, not just claimed. | 2 | ✘ No | No live CoA with a verification code; past Janoshik certs are reported without client details or codes. Source · 2026-07-09 |
