Database

The database currently includes 141 studies published before December 2017: 117 peer-reviewed scientific papers and 24 publications from non-peer-reviewed sources. The latter includes publications by government agencies, media outlets, and non-profit organizations.

Omitted

Some data is filtered out for analyses to remove potential biases. For example, this includes studies where 1) sample sizes of products tested can not be determined, 2) only mislabeled samples of a product are reported, or 3) information on correctly labeled samples are omitted.

The data, methods, and results presented here have been subject to peer-review and published in the scientific journal Biological Conservation.
