How to Read a COA (Certificate of Analysis)

A Certificate of Analysis (COA) is your best friend when it comes to understanding what’s really inside your cannabis product. Whether you’re shopping for THCa pre-rolls, gummies, or CBD flower, a COA tells you exactly what you're getting — and what you're not.

Every legit product should have one. If it doesn’t? Walk away. At Miss Naturalist, we care deeply about transparency and purity. That’s why all of our products are lab-tested and fully compliant with the 2018 Farm Bill.

What to Look for on a COA

1. Cannabinoid Content: This is where you’ll see the percentages of cannabinoids like THCa, CBD, Delta-9 THC, and others. Make sure THCa is dominant (if that’s what you’re shopping for) and that Delta-9 THC stays below 0.3% — that’s what makes it legal.

2. Batch Number: Each product should have a matching batch number so you can verify the lab results correspond to what you’re buying.

3. Lab Info: Look for the name of an independent, third-party testing facility. This ensures unbiased results and reliable data.

4. Test Date: Recent test dates (within 6–12 months) show the product is fresh and hasn’t sat around degrading.

5. Contaminant Testing: This section checks for heavy metals, pesticides, mold, and other toxins. All results should say “ND” (Not Detected) or be within safe, legal limits.

Why It Matters

Not all cannabis products are created equal. A COA protects you from low-quality, mislabeled, or even dangerous products. It’s not just about legality — it’s about your safety, wellness, and peace of mind.

With Miss Naturalist, you can always count on transparency, purity, and all-natural vibes — because you deserve to know exactly what you're smoking, sipping, or soaking in.
