Not carried

Who isn’t here, and why.

This is the other half of the directory.

If you only see who passed, there is no cost. The cost is the brands that don’t make it — often the ones with the widest shelves.

A brand is not listed because it failed one of the three rules — testing at some stage, selling where testing is required, or a controlling parent that tests. This is not a judgment of the formula. It is the standard, applied.

The full bar is on The Standard.
