How to read a public product lab report before trusting the badge

Check sample identity, batch, date and test scope before applying a result to the product you plan to buy.

A “tested” badge is a prompt to open the report. It is not the end of the check.

Match the sample before the result

At Heal.Abhi, we match a report to its named product and flavour, then retain the batch and date. A different flavour or an unmatched batch does not inherit the same result.

Start with the original report where available. A screenshot of a green badge may omit the sample description or the limits of the test.

  • Match the product name and flavour.
  • Read the batch or lot identifier.
  • Check sampling, receipt and report dates where given.
  • Find the laboratory, report identifier and test methods.

Read what was actually tested

List the parameters covered and the units used. A protein test does not answer a question about every possible contaminant. A result below a stated detection limit should not be rewritten as proof that a substance can never be present.

Our library keeps laboratory evidence separate from an ingredient score. “No exact report matched” means the link has not been established. It does not mean a product failed.

Dates and deadlines need their own context

FSSAI’s September 2026 laboratory amendment has a 1 April 2027 commencement date. Its reporting provisions concern regulatory and import sample categories. They are not a universal delivery promise for all private testing.

For your purchase, use the report as evidence about its stated sample and scope. Keep the current pack’s identity and instructions alongside it.
