Ingredients and evidence
Chapter 11 of the Dose user guide.
Beside the facts panel, Ingredients and evidence answers "what's in it, and how do I know?": the product's certifications and format as chips, cards for its key ingredients with their amounts, and a link to its lab report.
What shoppers see
- The section marker, "Ingredients and evidence" and the heading "What's in every gummy" (the product's format, in lower case and singular: "Capsules" gives "What's in every capsule").
- Chips: one per certification ("Third-party tested", "Vegan", "Gluten free", "Non-GMO"), each with a simple icon, and the format chip ("Format: gummy"). The words always show; there are no certifier logos.
- Ingredient cards: up to three, each a tile in a goal colour with an icon, the amount large ("200 mg"), the name and your note. Three across from 990px, two on tablets, one per row on phones.
- The lab row: a document icon, "Lab results for Wind-down gummies", "Tested by an independent lab" and View lab results (PDF), which opens the report in a new tab.
Each part hides on its own when its metafield is empty; with none of them the block shows nothing.
Where it comes from
The chips come from custom.certifications, the format chip and the heading's [format] from custom.format, the cards from custom.key_ingredients (one per line, Name | amount | note) and the lab row from custom.lab_report (chapter 7).
Chip icons go by keyword: "test" or "lab" a flask, "vegan" or "plant" a leaf, "gluten" crossed wheat, "GMO" a DNA strand, "organic" a sprout, "sugar" crossed sugar, "dairy" or "lactose" a crossed drop, and anything else a tick.
Card icons come from Ingredient icons: the first keyword found in the ingredient's name picks the icon, else a leaf. The card colours cycle through goal colours 5, 3, 4, 1, 2 and 6, skipping the product's own goal colour, so the first card never repeats the gallery's ground.
The lab report opens in a new tab. A link ending in .pdf keeps "(PDF)" in the button; another link drops it. Use your current report, and replace the file when a new batch is tested.

On the product template the block sits in Facts and ingredients, beside the facts panel. You can also add it to the Product section or a Featured product.
In the theme editor
On a product with none of the four metafields, the theme editor shows a sample (three cards, four chips, the format chip and a lab row) with a "Sample" tag. Shoppers see nothing until you fill in the metafields.
The home page's Ingredient spotlight (chapter 4) is separate: you write its ingredients in the section, and its evidence row's chips come from its own Certifications setting.
