Benefits
Verified by testing, based on the average amount in 1 serving (112g)Nutrient Content Claims
The FDA standard for what producers can say about what’s in food. 10% of the daily value (DV) is considered the minimum “significant amount” of a nutrient.
"Good" and "Rich" claims are calculated per RACC (114g), the FDA's regulatory reference amount, not per the labeled serving size (112g).
Contains at least 20% of the daily value of these nutrients.
Zinc assists proteins in crucial roles such as wound healing, immune function, and DNA synthesis.
Vitamin B12 (cobalamin) assists in DNA synthesis, red blood cell production, and insulation around neurons.
Vitamin B3 (Niacin) assists cells in converting food into energy and DNA repair. This measures the sum of total niacin plus tryptophan equivalents (if analyzed).
Contains at least 10% of the daily value of these nutrients.
Phosphorus is required for DNA synthesis, cell metabolism, and in supporting strong bone formation.
Copper assists in converting food into energy, managing iron levels in the body, and protecting cells from damage due to oxidative stress.
Vitamin B2 (riboflavin) helps convert food into energy and protects cells from damage due to oxidative stress.
Meets FDA requirements to label as low, free of, none, or similar. Thresholds differ by nutrient.

The fat-to-protein ratio tells you how much fat there is compared to protein in a food. It’s calculated by dividing the grams of fat by the grams of protein, to show balance between the two nutrients. A low number suggests a lean profile: more protein and less fat. Conversely, a high number indicates the food is more "fatty," meaning it has more fat and less protein.

Manganese assists proteins in crucial roles such as protecting cells from damage due to oxidative stress, assists in converting food into energy, and allowing blood to clot.
This value represents an estimate because some samples had values below LOQ.
Limit of Quantification (LOQ) is the lowest level that can be reliably measured by a lab. The true value could be anywhere between zero and LOQ.

Cobalt is an essential element required for vitamin B12 function. There are trace levels of cobalt in many foods, however cobalt needs are primarily met through consuming vitamin B12-containing foods.
This value represents an estimate because some samples had values below LOQ.
Limit of Quantification (LOQ) is the lowest level that can be reliably measured by a lab. The true value could be anywhere between zero and LOQ.
There is no established function of nickel in humans and no evidence of toxicity from dietary nickel.
This value represents an estimate because some samples had values below LOQ.
Limit of Quantification (LOQ) is the lowest level that can be reliably measured by a lab. The true value could be anywhere between zero and LOQ.

The Sodium-to-Potassium ratio compares the amounts of these two essential minerals. It’s calculated by dividing the grams of sodium by potassium, to show how the two minerals are balanced. Both sodium and potassium must be regulated at specific levels inside and outside the cell to control fluid balance, facilitate nerve impulses, and manage blood pressure. A high ratio of too much sodium and too little potassium is linked to increased blood pressure and a higher risk of heart disease and stroke.

Contaminants
Arsenic is a naturally-occurring element that can be found in the air, water, and soil. High or long-term exposure to Inorganic Arsenic is toxic and linked to skin disorders, diabetes, and cancers; while exposure to Organic Arsenic is generally not a concern in the amount consumed. Notably, the Arsenic in fin fish is generally the harmless organic form, though we recommend further testing of the specific forms to be sure.
Limit of Quantification (LOQ) is the lowest level that can be reliably measured by a lab. The true value could be anywhere between zero and LOQ.
Cadmium naturally occurs in rocks and soil, and many foods contain a low level. High cadmium exposure can damage the kidneys, lungs, and bones.
Limit of Quantification (LOQ) is the lowest level that can be reliably measured by a lab. The true value could be anywhere between zero and LOQ.
Mercury is a naturally-occurring element that can contaminate the environment due to industrial pollution. High exposure to mercury can lead to neurological and kidney problems.
Limit of Quantification (LOQ) is the lowest level that can be reliably measured by a lab. The true value could be anywhere between zero and LOQ.
Lead is a harmful heavy metal that damages many organs including the brain, kidneys, and reproductive system. Foods can accumulate lead from the environment.
Limit of Quantification (LOQ) is the lowest level that can be reliably measured by a lab. The true value could be anywhere between zero and LOQ.
