Last updated: 14 October 2026. Added an at-a-glance summary of the results. Results transcribed into text from the original certificates, which are reproduced in full below and remain unchanged.
At a glance: Two reports below, from Avon Food Lab (NABL TC-11151). Microbiology, batch KH053150, issued 6 May 2026: Salmonella and Listeria absent in 25 g; Enterobacteriaceae <10 cfu/g; within FSSR 2011 limits, as the report records. Heavy metals, batch KH053150, issued 5 May 2026: lead and arsenic below the quantitation limit (0.05 mg/kg); within FSSR 2011 limits, as the report records. Neither report measures silymarin or milk thistle extract content, so they do not verify the amounts stated on the label.
These third-party reports record microbiological and heavy-metal results for the same batch for samples of HealthyHey Milk Thistle submitted by HealthyHey Foods LLP. Read each with its sample description, batch number, methods and limits. A laboratory report is evidence of the tests performed, not certification of every claim on the label.
1. Microbiology, batch KH053150
Sample described as Milk Thistle · Batch KH053150 · Avon Food Lab Pvt. Ltd. (NABL TC-11151) · Report AFLPL/260427039 · ULR TC1115126000011945F · Received 27 April 2026, tested 27 April–1 May 2026, issued 6 May 2026.
| Parameter | Reported result | Limit printed on report |
|---|---|---|
| Enterobacteriaceae | <10 cfu/g | m = 1×10³ cfu/g, M = 1×10⁴ cfu/g |
| Salmonella | Absent in 25 g | Absent |
| Listeria monocytogenes | Absent in 25 g | Absent |
The report records conformity with FSSR 2011.
2. Heavy metals, batch KH053150
Sample described as Milk Thistle, light brown coloured powder · Batch KH053150 · Avon Food Lab Pvt. Ltd. (NABL TC-11151) · Report AFLPL/260501003 · ULR TC1115126000011531F · Received 1 May 2026, tested 2–4 May 2026, issued 5 May 2026.
| Parameter | Result (mg/kg) | LOQ (mg/kg) | Limit printed on report (mg/kg) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Lead | BQL | 0.05 | 2.5 |
| Arsenic | BQL | 0.05 | 1.1 |
| Copper | BQL | 0.1 | 30.0 |
| Cadmium | BQL | 0.05 | 1.5 |
| Tin | BQL | 0.3 | 250 |
| Mercury | BQL | 0.05 | 1.0 |
| Methyl mercury | BQL | 0.1 | 0.25 |
All seven parameters were below the method's quantitation limit, and the report records conformity with FSSR 2011 limits where specified. BQL means below the method's quantitation limit, not necessarily absent. The limits above are transcribed from the report, not a new regulatory determination.
Scope and limitations
- The laboratory tested samples submitted by HealthyHey; it did not draw them from retail stock.
- Both reports cover the same batch, KH053150.
- Neither report measures silymarin or milk thistle extract content, so they do not verify the amounts stated on the label.
- The last scan on this page is page 2 of 2 (the signature page) of a different report, AFLPL/250313029 issued 29 March 2025; page 1 of that report is not published here, so it is not transcribed.
- Passing the listed contaminant tests does not establish absence of every contaminant or suitability for every individual.
