Our Evaluation

Why We Chose Doudlah Farms

We chose Doudlah Farms Organic Pinto Beans because they represent the highest standard of independent chemical verification available for a dried bean product — and because the farming practices behind them are among the most rigorous we have found anywhere.

Doudlah Farms holds the Tested Clean certification — an independent program that certifies their soil and crops are free from over 220 toxic pesticides and chemicals including glyphosate and AMPA. Unlike most certifications which test once and issue a certificate, Tested Clean requires continuous testing, blind spot-checks pulled directly from retail shelves, and laboratory sensitivity levels 10 to 100 times greater than most US labs. The benchmark is less than 10 nanograms per gram for all pesticides and chemicals combined.

They are also USDA Certified Organic, Regenerative, and Biodynamic — three layers of farming practice certification that together represent the highest agricultural standard available in the United States. The story behind Doudlah Farms matters too: their father Earl died from Mantle Cell Lymphoma — a cancer linked to agricultural chemical exposure known as Midwest Farmer's Cancer. This farm is his legacy.

Bonham Gold Label Evaluation

Purity Profile

Pesticides 5/5

Tested Clean certified — independently verified free from over 220 pesticides and chemicals including glyphosate and AMPA at less than 10 nanograms per gram. Continuous testing with blind retail spot-checks at 10-100x greater laboratory sensitivity than most US labs. USDA Organic also prohibits all synthetic pesticides. This is the strongest pesticide verification available for a dried bean product.

Chemicals & Toxins 5/5

No synthetic inputs of any kind — no synthetic pesticides, no synthetic fertilizers, no chemical fumigants, no artificial flavors, colors, or preservatives. Regenerative and biodynamic farming prohibits the full spectrum of synthetic chemical inputs. Tested Clean certification independently verifies this at the soil and crop level.

GMO 5/5

Non-GMO verified. USDA Organic also prohibits GMO inputs. Pinto beans are not currently a commercially available GMO crop, but Doudlah's certifications confirm this explicitly.

Verified 4/5

Verified through Tested Clean certification, USDA Organic certification by MOSA, and Mamavation's recognition of equivalent testing standards. Scored 4 rather than 5 because individual heavy metals results by specific metal are not published publicly — the Tested Clean panel covers heavy metals but does not break out individual lead, cadmium, mercury, and arsenic levels by product.

Purity 5/5

Single ingredient — pinto beans, nothing added. Grown on USDA and MOSA certified organic soils using regenerative and biodynamic farming practices that actively rebuild soil health. No processing aids, no desiccants, no preservatives. The highest purity score is appropriate for a product this clean and this simply produced.

Mold 1/5

No mold testing publicly disclosed. Dried beans can harbor mold under improper storage or if moisture is introduced. This applies to all dried beans regardless of how clean they are at harvest. Store in a cool, dry, airtight container.

Heavy Metals N/A

Heavy metals are included in the Tested Clean 220-chemical panel, but individual metal results by specific product are not published publicly. Wisconsin soils are generally considered low-risk for heavy metal contamination. Not flagged as a concern for this product type and region, but no published individual metal results are available to confirm.

Microplastics N/A

Not applicable — microplastic contamination is not a known concern for dried beans in appropriate packaging. This pillar is not evaluated for this product type.

Yeast N/A

Not applicable — yeast contamination is not a relevant concern for dried beans under normal storage conditions.
