DH works in food R&D, I was telling him about this and he said the FDA allows for some "wiggle room" on labelling, even in the foods we eat. He said if they were to test it they would pull so many bottles from different lots and as long as a certain percent of them were exactly as labelled, it's okay for some to be a little over or under.

Sorry girls I missed your question about the other store brands, Yes he did publix brand and also national brands like Heinz. As far as wiggle room and pulling from lots and as long as so many bottles pass the test it fine is correct, but he tested bottles from dollar tree that were from different lots and they all came back at exactly 3%

Thank God b/c I just took one last week and got a positive! I'd have hated to tell my family that we were pregnant when it was just a faulty test. LOL.
