Pilot scorecard
Garden of Life scored 1 out of 6 for label disclosure under methodology v1.13, read from the label as captured on 2026-09-27.
30ct Cherry chewable variant, Amazon listing B074JLL5KS.
Two blends. Kids Probiotic Blend 71 mg covers 14 organisms with no per-organism amount, and Organic Prebiotic Fiber Blend 310 mg covers acacia fiber, whole cranberry and emblic (amla) extract with no per-ingredient amount. Vitamin C 30 mg and Vitamin D 10 mcg do carry exact amounts.
The prebiotic blend contains Organic Whole Cranberry and Organic Emblic (Amla) Extract, both standardization-dependent (cranberry by proanthocyanidins, amla extract by tannin or vitamin C content), and neither carries a percentage or even an individual weight. Same basis as the Doctor's Recipes row.
All 14 organisms are named to genus and species only with no strain designations. Vitamin D is properly specified as D3, but a single undesignated organism is enough to fail the criterion and there are fourteen. The carton front advertises '14 PROBIOTIC STRAINS'. C4 0, and this product passes the v1.13 disclosure test while still failing. The footnote reads '1 At Expiration Date under recommended storage conditions', so the 5 Billion CFU is guaranteed through expiry and the delivered dose IS established, only the second label in the sample to do this after NOW Probiotic-10. It fails on attribution instead: the 5 Billion is an aggregate across 14 organisms, split only into Lacto (4 Billion) and Bifido (1 Billion) sub-totals, so no organism can be compared to its own trial range, and none carries a strain designation to look up in any case. The prebiotic blend is likewise an undifferentiated total. Vitamins C and D are nutrients at 33 and 50 percent of Daily Value, not doses aimed at the digestive outcome claimed.
No reasoning recorded.
No publicly accessible third-party certificate of analysis located 2026-09-27, consistent with the finding for Garden of Life Dr Formulated Probiotics for Men on the same date. The panel carries NSF Gluten-Free, Non-GMO Project Verified, USDA Organic and a 'Shelf Stable Potency Promise' mark, all of which are certifications or claims rather than product certificates of analysis. Recorded as a negative finding, not a claim that none exists.
Serving size 1 chewable and servings per container 30 are both printed on the panel.
