A Certificate of Analysis (COA) is an independent laboratory report that verifies the contents and safety of a product. It tests for specific cannabinoid levels, as well as potential contaminants such as heavy metals, pesticides, and more. COAs are essential for consumers because they confirm the product contains exactly what it claims, ensuring transparency and trust. These tests are conducted by third-party laboratories with no affiliation to the manufacturer, eliminating bias and safeguarding the accuracy of the results.
