What is in it: label and official sources

No site could be confirmed as the brand’s own, and public health agencies report that many unrelated sellers use the PolkaDot name and labels, so no label is on file. The findings below come from state and local health agency testing and a CDC report.

Only ingredients disclosed on the label or identified by an official source (FDA, another government agency or lab, an accredited lab or a court record) are listed, each with its source. Compound Laws does not guess at undisclosed contents.
