How to Read a Matcha Lab Report: A Consumer's Guide to Purity
Pesticide Residue: What “<0.01 mg/kg” Means
Our pesticide analysis (Report No: EQNX:001:FT:25:01:09282/A) tests for over 140 pesticides. Every single compound in the test (Batch No: 03MARA5968) returned "<0.01 mg/kg" — meaning below detectable limits. No harmful chemical residues.
Heavy Metals: Clean and Well Below Limits
Our heavy metal report (Report No: EQNX:001:FT:25:01:09283) shows levels like:
- Arsenic: <0.5 mg/kg (Limit: 1.1 mg/kg)
- Lead: <0.5 mg/kg (Limit: 2.5 mg/kg)
- Mercury: <0.5 mg/kg (Limit: 1.0 mg/kg)
All values are below FSSAI limits, confirming safe, clean matcha.
Why NABL and FSSAI Matter
Our reports are issued by NABL-accredited Equinox Labs, ensuring the testing follows international standards (ISO/IEC 17025). All results conform to FSSAI limits, India’s official food safety standards.
SOP Codes: Validated Methods
Method codes like SOP-CHM-34-01 (for pesticides) and SOP-CHM-27-01 (for metals) show that testing was done using validated, standardized protocols. These aren't random lab checks. They're scientific, traceable, and reliable.
