‼️ Industry News for this week,

Ohio h**p regulation update: a state court has temporarily extended the pause on Governor DeWine’s order restricting sales of certain h**p-derived products until December 2, 2025.

The decision gives manufacturers and retailers additional time to adapt as the state reviews its approach to h**p-derived compounds. While this pause provides short-term relief, it also underscores the growing need for accurate testing, documentation, and compliance readiness within the h**p and cannabinoid industries.

🔍 Key takeaways:
 • Regulations surrounding h**p-derived compounds continue to evolve nationwide. • Verified, third-party testing helps demonstrate product quality and regulatory alignment. • Maintaining complete Certificates of Analysis (COAs) ensures transparency and consumer trust.

💭 Question if the week:

The word “clean” gets used often in today’s wellness, supplement, and cannabis industries but what does it really mean when it comes to product safety?

A product can look clean and even carry a clean label, but that doesn’t always reflect what’s happening at a microbial level. Contaminants like yeast, mold, bacteria, and mycotoxins are often invisible to the eye and can impact product quality, shelf life, and consumer safety if left unchecked.

This is why routine microbial and mycotoxin testing isn’t just a regulatory box to check, it’s a critical part of protecting product integrity and building consumer trust.

✅ Why microbial testing matters: • Detects invisible contaminants before they become costly issues. • Supports accurate shelf-life claims and product stability. • Strengthens regulatory compliance and brand credibility. • Protects the health and safety of end consumers.

🧪 PharmLabs provides comprehensive microbial and mycotoxin testing designed to meet strict state and federal requirements. Our ISO/IEC 17025:2017 accredited lab helps brands deliver clean, compliant, and trusted products every time.

Don’t just trust the label, trust the science. Ensure your products are clean, compliant, and market-ready with PharmLabs. Contact us today to schedule your microbial and mycotoxin testing and give your brand and your consumers the confidence they deserve.

🚨 INDUSTRY NEWS 🚨

Recent lab testing revealed that around 70% of popular protein powder brands contained detectable levels of lead, a heavy metal that can accumulate in the body over time.

The findings showed that plant-based protein powders were more likely to contain elevated levels compared to animal-based formulas. Experts suggest this is often linked to soil absorption and manufacturing processes, not intentional contamination.

While occasional use may not pose a significant health risk for most healthy adults, long-term or high-volume intake could increase exposure to lead and other contaminants.

✅ Key takeaways for consumers and brands:
 • Heavy metals can be present even in products labeled “clean” or “natural.” • Ingredient sourcing and manufacturing practices play a major role in contamination levels. • Choosing products that undergo third-party lab testing (e.g., USP, NSF, ISO-accredited labs) helps ensure product quality and safety. • Transparent testing data builds consumer trust and regulatory confidence.

🧪 At PharmLabs we provides comprehensive analytical testing for:

* Heavy Metals
* Pesticides
* Residual Solvents
* Microbials
* Mycotoxins
* Terpenes
* Potency and more

Ensure your product is clean, compliant, and market-ready with trusted ISO/IEC 17025:2017-accredited testing.

🧪 Potency testing tells part of the story but not the whole truth about product safety.

A product can test high for potency yet still contain harmful contaminants like: • Heavy metals • Pesticides • Residual solvents • Microbials & mycotoxins 
That’s why full panel testing is the gold standard for brands committed to quality, compliance, and consumer trust.

✅ What full panel testing ensures: – Product safety and transparency – Regulatory compliance across state and federal requirements – Accurate and reliable labeling – Lower liability risks for your business – Stronger consumer confidence in your brand

🧪 Bottom line, Potency is just the beginning. A clean, compliant, and trusted product requires comprehensive testing.

🧪 Myth or Fact: H**p-derived cannabinoids always pass pesticide screening.
 ✅ Answer: Myth

H**p is more than just a versatile crop it’s a bioaccumulator, meaning it can naturally absorb pesticides, heavy metals, and other environmental contaminants from the soil, water, and even air.

Even when grown with “clean” or “organic” practices, trace levels of pesticides can be introduced through factors like agricultural runoff, neighboring farms, or contaminated soil. These residues can lead to failed compliance testing, product recalls, or regulatory delays. All of which can impact your business and consumer trust.

This is why routine pesticide screening through an ISO/IEC 17025:2017 accredited laboratory is critical. It provides verified data, safeguards product integrity, and ensures regulatory compliance from seed to shelf.

🚨 Peptide innovation gains FDA spotlight.

Peptide therapeutics are rapidly transforming the landscape of modern medicine. In August 2025, the FDA granted Breakthrough Therapy Designation to Rusfertide, a hepcidin-mimetic peptide designed to precisely regulate iron metabolism in patients with polycythemia vera, a serious hematologic disorder.

This regulatory milestone underscores the growing clinical significance of peptide-based drugs and the increasing demand for rigorous analytical testing to support their development, validation, and regulatory compliance.

🔬 As the field of peptide therapeutics expands, PharmLabs is equipped to provide the advanced testing solutions required for innovation including potency and purity analysis, impurity profiling, stability studies, and method validation aligned with evolving regulatory standards.
