A very common problem with Consumer Reports. Very. They also never make that shitty data's origins easily available for critique.
I have subscribed to them for over twenty years. This has always been a problem with them. Good intentions (that's my belief), but poor statistical execution and evidence.
- Natsu 5y agoLooking at the reports, it seems more like the problem is with certain spices especially basil, ginger, oregano, and thyme more than any particular brand. Some of those seem to be all red or very close to it. That said, there are a few spices where some brands are just terrible compared to all others. And I do see that there are a few common brands like "Great Value" that seem rather below average, failing where many others succeeded, which may be worth avoiding. But yeah, I wish they had more consistent tables of these spices.
