Independent laboratory original reports
brand-published. Issuer: Accurate Universal Laboratories, Ahmedabad.
Accurate Universal Laboratories, Ahmedabad, issued metals report AL/AHD/01291125005 on 29 November 2025 and microbiology report AL/AHD/01021225022 on 2 December 2025. Both identify Organic Black Pepper, lots 112502OR and 112501OR, sampled 17 November and received 27 November 2025. The brand portal covers whole and ground pepper together; its export document identifies 112501OR as ground pepper.
Evidence limits
Results apply to the submitted pepper samples, not every retail pouch. The reports identify whole/ground lot codes together and do not provide separate coarse-versus-table-grind results. Below quantification does not mean zero. The linked file also contains pesticide results; that broader panel has not yet been fully reviewed here.
The exact scope
Four metals and microbiology in the named November 2025 pepper samples.
What we watch
Newer reports, formula or grind changes and availability.
