Understanding the test results

  • BLQ: Below Limit of Quantification. The reported result is below the stated LOQ value.
  • Not Detected: The parameter was reported as not detected by the test method.
  • Absent: The report records the tested parameter as absent.
  • Reference limits: Limits are reproduced from the supplied report. A dash indicates that no limit was stated in that particular row.

Important: The source report states that results relate only to the sample tested in its received condition and should not be extrapolated to other products or samples. The report records that the tested sample meets the stated FSSR-2011 requirements for the parameters tested. These results should not be interpreted as a guarantee that every production batch has identical test results.
*Minor Variations can occur as we do not use any chemical stabilzation and every batch of coconuts procured might have different characteristics.
