What the labels mean
Each status shows the evidence it rests on: an independent test, a brand lab report, a certificate, the material itself, a brand claim, or no information. A dash means we found nothing from the brand, a test or a certificate. “Recommended” means a source says the product is free from it, the label is not “No information”, and no test or brand source contradicts it. A brand claim is the brand’s own words; we quote them exactly.
