What do these results mean?
A number, such as 0.005 ppm, is the amount the lab measured in the sample.
< means “less than.” A result of <0.001 ppm means the lab reported an amount below that level. It does not necessarily mean zero.
Absent / 10 g means the lab did not find that organism in the 10 g portion tested. “Negative” means the same basic finding: the organism was not found in the portion tested.
Different tests use different reporting methods. Some measure an amount or count, while others check whether a specific organism is present.
Why do we test for heavy metals?
Lead, cadmium, mercury, and arsenic can enter food ingredients through soil, water, and the environment. Testing measures how much of each is present in the sample.
ppm means parts per million. It is a way of expressing very small concentrations. For these results, µg/g means the same concentration expressed as micrograms per gram.
What does microbiology testing check?
Some tests count groups of microorganisms, such as bacteria, yeast, and mold. Others look for specific organisms, such as E. coli or Salmonella.
CFU/g means colony forming units per gram. It measures microbial growth under the test conditions. A result of <10 CFU/g means the reported count was below 10 colony forming units per gram, not necessarily zero.
Tests for specific organisms may report “Absent” or “Negative” when that organism was not found in the portion tested. This is why some results show a count and others show a word.
