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.

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.
