Hi Elaine,
That is pretty much what I expect that it meant.
I'm fine with "no pathogens detected", but I don't like "pathogen-free"
because it is too much like marketing-speak, and it most likely is not
true. From the way that you put things in this post, I suspect that you
understand my objection to the term "pathogen-free". It is linguistally
taking one step beyond what the facts support.
Thanks,
Dave
