What We Couldn't Verify
- On-site facility inspection was not conducted
- The candidate-claimed NSF GMP certification was NOT found in the NSF public GMP directory (searched June 2026, no matching company for ESM Technologies or Stratum Nutrition), so all certifications are recorded as self-reported and the trust tier is held at 2 pending a registry-confirmable certificate
- NEM self-affirmed GRAS status is a regulatory determination by the company, not an IR-confirmed third-party certification; confirm current documentation per order
