   Update: a donation page with both recurring and one-time donations is now live! Donated funds are pooled and allocated to the leading unfunded product anytime the pool can get that product to its funding goal. https://laboratory.

   Thanks for pointing this out. I will clear it up! I certainly want to avoid any weird incentive misalignment. Because the testing is done by an accredited lab that provides an official Certificate of Analysis, I think I could reasonably acc

   love it, this is awesome! did you do any math around predicting if 'donating' this gold to a treasure hunter would yield an even greater amount to hurricane relief?

   I don't know, but I do know there is room for improvement from where we are now, and I think we should strive to do better.

    Given the current reach of the project (read: still small!), I suspect for awhile yet the majority of successfully funded testing will be by concerned individuals with expendable income. It is cheaper and much faster to go through laborator

    Where are you? This project is not necessarily limited to products that are available in the United States. Anything that can be shipped to the United States is still testable.

    Currently a one-man side project: https://laboratory.love Last year, PlasticList found plastic chemicals in 86% of tested foods—including 100% of baby foods they tested. Around the same time, the EU lowered its “safe” BPA limit

    Yeah, I will be doing some work to make the results more interpretable.

    Folks at Blueprint actually reached out to me when they saw this project at the beginning of the year and essentially tried to acquire it by hiring me as a contracted engineer. I politely declined. Blueprint Quantified, which is linked in t

    Yeah, I should add something about this to the FAQ page, thanks for pointing this out. I'm not technically limited to US products, but I can (currently) only test products that can be shipped TO the United States.

    I definitely considered a voting mechanism, but there are a few million active, buyable CPG UPCs in the U.S. at any given time. When conducting some basic market research for this project, I found that most people are only willing to pay to

    It's an interesting thought. Companies do change packaging somewhat regularly. However, the underlying skew usually remains the same. Changing the packaging and/or the SKU is very expensive. It's probably cheaper and more ben

    Thanks! I would like to expand testing into other areas beyond plastic chemicals (like heavy metals) if and when the project grows.
