I hope somebody can pop on here and explain to me in simple language exactly what I should ask for when sending food for testing and choosing a laboratory.
1. I was planning on asking them to test for "unknown chemicals and toxins" thinking that would cover everything, including melamine, cyanuric acid, etc., acetaminophen, pesticides, flame retardants, etc.
2. Do I need to ask about what levels they detect at, ppm, ppb and the values?
3. Can they verify that the ingridients and levels listed on the label are actually in the food, too, or is that a different type of laboratory that I would need.
4. Is 1 lab enough or do I need to send the same product to 2 different labs?
Thanks for any clarification you can provide me.
