I wish similar testing were available in Australia, I'd pay for a subscription to have access to high-quality independent testing of the common foods that are available in the shops.

I wonder if enough people care for this to be a viable business model.



I'd also like this.

I just want a ballpark on the orders of magnitude between alternatives so I can make simple swaps.

The most popular three brands of each food category (canned black beans, soy milk, hummus, etc.) would be a nice start.

On the other hand, it also seems like the wrong fixation for most people. Most people should probably be making swaps away from things like junk food and saturated fat before they invest energy in minmaxing the nanograms of pfas in their butter. It would suck if it introduced more chaos and confusion into health/food discourse.


+1 for US & India.

I put in a quote request with the lab OP used, the economics might work out but we'd run into the problem of people sharing the insights/outliers on social media?

Also side note, this test seems exorbitantly expensive in India. $1100 for 1 kit! https://www.amazon.in/Phthalates-Test-Bus-Days-Schneider/dp/...


Would be nice to put through all the terrible plastic-wrapped produce you find at Coles and Woolies.
