Batch-Matched COA
A batch-matched COA is one whose batch or lot number corresponds to the exact production run you are buying. This is the check that separates real transparency from paperwork theater: a beautiful lab report for a batch sold eight months ago tells you nothing about today’s jar. The honest failure mode is common — one flattering COA recycled across every listing. We only recommend vendors that publish batch-matched COAs, and the fastest fraud check available to you is thirty seconds: find the batch number on the label, find it on the report, confirm they agree.
