Is my bottle fresh? Check your lot
The most common question we get is the one a label cannot answer: is the oil in this bottle still fresh? It has a measurement — peroxide value — and we publish it lot by lot. Type the lot number from the bottom of your bottle on the lot certificates page and see that lot’s results, including peroxide value against its limit. Not a customer yet? The same page shows the latest lot.
