Label and public-source review today; lab checks after validation
We read the label and compare it with manufacturer, regulator, recall, and other public sources.
The in-house lab and each method must be validated before any report is called lab-backed.
Every report states whether its evidence is label-only or lab-backed and explains the limits.
