Why this matters on a raw food site
Raw food is more fragile than cooked. Verification can't be an afterthought.
Heat damage, lipid oxidation, and microbial load are the three quiet failure modes of any raw pantry. They don't show up in a marketing claim — they show up on a lab printout. A "raw" cashew that was briefly toasted during processing can still be called raw on the front of the bag, and most retailers never check.
That's why every active SKU at Raw Paradise is sent to an independent partner lab for a full panel — temperature integrity, heavy metals, pesticide residue, microbiology, nutritional density, and organic certification status. The reports are public. You can read them before you buy, and the SKU only ships if the document clears every line item.
Inside every report
Six verification panels, every time.
Every third-party analysis we publish covers the same six categories. If a product fails any one of them, it doesn't ship — and the report stays public so you can see exactly what was tested.
Microbiological safety
Aerobic plate count, yeast, mold, coliforms, and Salmonella — all reported against raw-food thresholds.
Heavy metals
Lead, cadmium, arsenic, and mercury tested at California Prop 65 and USP limits, not just FDA.
Pesticide residue
300+ compounds screened on every organic SKU, plus a separate panel for sprouts and microgreens.
Recently published
A taste of the library.
The full archive runs 1,240+ documents. These four landed on the index this month — every one is downloadable, every one is signed by the lab partner listed.

A four-step read
How to read a Raw Paradise lab report.
If you've never opened a certificate of analysis before, this is a four-line speed run. Every report is laid out the same way so you can scan it in under a minute.
-
01
Identify the SKU
Match the SKU code in the top-left to the product page. Each report is filed under its current batch number, not the product name — so you know exactly which lot you're reading about.
-
02
Check the 118°F line
Look for the "Max processing temperature" field. If it reads under 118°F, the lot is verified raw. If it's missing or above, the report won't be in the public archive — because we don't ship that batch.
-
03
Scan the heavy metals & microbial panels
Lead, cadmium, arsenic, mercury, plus aerobic plate count and Salmonella. All four heavy metals should sit below the listed USP or Prop 65 threshold, and every microbial line should read "non-detect" or "within limits".
-
04
Confirm the lab signature
Every report is signed by the partner lab and dated. We rotate six independent labs across the year — no in-house testing, no self-attestation, no shared CoA between sister brands.
