Original independent laboratory reports on linked green-coffee inputs
Original independent laboratory PDF certificates hosted by the coffee brand on Shopify CDN. Issuer: Activation Laboratories (Actlabs) Agriculture; Eurofins Essais Alimentaires.
Original Actlabs and Eurofins certificates; official current FAQ explicitly maps harvest 013-0187-00006 to Rubicon, Rise & Shine and French Roast. The June reports record cadmium 0.014 mg/kg, DON 0.38 ppm and zearalenone 0.06 ppm; ochratoxin A is below 3 ppb.
Evidence limits
Cadmium, DON and zearalenone were detected in the sampled green beans. The microbiology report prints one extra zero in its lot code. Report-specific detection limits and that identification discrepancy remain part of this review.
The exact scope
Rubicon Light Roast, linked by the brand to green-coffee harvest 013-0187-00006. Reports cover input beans, not the finished roast or every retail bag.
What we watch
New crop, roast or laboratory report; changes to sourcing or processing.
