SodaSlim Lab Standards: What Gets Tested on Every Lot
Every SodaSlim production run passes two gates before a single bottle ships: release testing inside the cGMP facility, then an independent file from Verimont Testing Laboratories, Inc.. This page describes the regimen; the result for the current run sits on the batch records page.
The facility
SodaSlim is manufactured in the United States in an FDA-registered facility operating under current Good Manufacturing Practices (cGMP). Registration does not mean the FDA approves the product - no supplement gets that - but it does mean the site is on the agency's inspection roster and runs documented procedures for cleaning, calibration, blend uniformity, and lot traceability. Every batch record starts there, with raw-material quarantine and weigh-room logs, before anything reaches an encapsulator.
The independent laboratory
Finished lots are sampled and couriered to Verimont Testing Laboratories, Inc., accredited to ISO/IEC 17025, the standard that governs testing-laboratory competence. Verimont holds no commercial stake in the product; its job is to say what is in the capsule, at what level, and whether contaminants sit below limits. The current certificate (VTL-4471-26) is referenced on the verification page and available to any buyer with an order number.
The per-lot battery
| Test | Method | What it answers |
|---|---|---|
| Identity fingerprint | HPLC | Are the labeled botanicals actually the labeled botanicals? |
| Active assay | HPLC-PDA | Does active content meet specification? Current lot: 99.3% |
| Heavy metals | ICP-MS | Lead, arsenic, cadmium, mercury below 0.4 ppm |
| Microbial limits | USP <61> / <62> | Total counts within limits; specified organisms absent |
| Pesticide screen | GC-MS/MS panel | Botanical inputs clear of residue above tolerance |
Where the ingredients come from
Botanical inputs are bought against written identity specifications, not spot prices alone. Green tea and green coffee extracts arrive with supplier chromatograms that the facility re-verifies at intake; garcinia is purchased as standardized rind extract; caffeine anhydrous and raspberry ketone come from audited supplement-grade producers. A supplier that fails an intake fingerprint twice is removed from the approved list - the boring kind of rule that keeps a five-active label honest, since an undisclosed-ratio blend (see the composition review) is only as trustworthy as its inputs.
Format and allergen posture
The capsule shell is vegetarian, and the finished product is positioned by the maker as dairy-free and naturally gluten-free. No animal-derived actives appear on the label. Buyers managing specific allergies should read the printed panel on the physical bottle, which lists inactive ingredients for the exact run in hand.
