See overview for plain-language explanation of Clean Label Project Certified [1].
5 Overview
Clean Label Project tests for 400+ contaminants that other programs may not cover — including BPA/BPS, plasticizers (phthalates), perchlorate, melamine, and acrylamide, in addition to standard heavy metals and pesticides [1]. Products are purchased off retail shelves (like ConsumerLab) eliminating best-batch bias. CLP emerged from the realization that traditional supplement testing focuses on what SHOULD be in the product but not on what SHOULDN'T — environmental and industrial contaminants from packaging, soil, water, and processing [1]. CLP publishes product ratings and a 'Purity Award' for top performers.
