Hi Mike, According to naturalnews. com, "VEGA joins Natural News heavy metals limits for protein products; company's blends already test among cleanest in industry."And, it is a very legitimate question, one more people have started to ask. I have included a link to the article, but sometimes Amazon deletes it. If that happens, go to the naturalnews website and search Vega One. The article is listed towards the bottom of the page. Be Well.Learn more: http://www.naturalnews.com/044136_vega_protein_heavy_metals_limits_natural_products.html#ixzz3E3begA8X

Judging from other Bragg products - these people are extremely health conscious and I am sure would not ever use any GMO products. it's a shame, isn't it, that 67 countries have laws requiring the labeling of GMOs but ours is not among them. I've gotten awfully careful about not eating tofu in a Chinese restaurant nor corn of any kind . 91% of all corn and the same amount of soybeans grown in this country are GMOs. Sorry. I'm sure that was more of an answer than you wanted.

I don't know, but I've been eating puffed rice for about 65 years, the last 10 or more from Arrowhead Mills. Why don't you ask Arrowhead Mills. They would probably be happy to answer. Please post it so Silly Sally won't freak out. Sylvia

I would go to Nutribiotic and ask the same question, I'm just a customer of Amazon's. I have some here and it says Certified Organic, not made with eggs, milk, wheat, corn, nuts or pesticides. It looks like it is very organic in every way. I would also ask if Monsanto rice was used? It's certified by the CCOF it that makes anyone feel better about its purity. As a consumer I don't believe all that I read on labels these days. Hope I could help in some way.

The "nutrition" button is if you are using half soybeans half rice, or other ingredients rather than soybeans. We had to read through the Chinese part of the manual to get that info though.

The product label does not mention where the non-GMO organic brown rice protein was grown. Maybe the Jarrow website or Jarrow customer service can answer that question: www.jarrow.com. In general unfortunately "organic" does not mean "arsenic-free" as suggested by research done by Dartmouth College and FDA. "Researchers at Dartmouth College find that many organic food products that contain organic brown rice syrup have a much higher concentration of the toxic element arsenic. Brown rice syrup, used as an alternative for the much-maligned high fructose corn syrup, is said to contain environmental arsenic absorbed by the husk of the rice."

I don't feel plant food has to be combined to make a complete protein, but most people would disagree with me on that one. I feel beans are a complete protein and Nutribiotic rice protein powder is a complete protein. I've been using Nutribiotic Rice Protein for years and I swear by it. I'm a 45 year old female, cut, very little body fat, 5'3 and 107 lbs. My blood work is always excellent and I can't tell you the last time I got sick. I work out some at home, but nothing over the top. See how it works for you. Every body is different. Mine does very well on this product

I just confirmed - it's China or Korea. Just got this email from them"1000mg Chlorella: While previously Taiwanese current country of origin is China or Korea. They are grown in controlled outdoor commercial fresh water ponds. They are processed in their respective countries and packaged here in our Bloomingdale, IL USA facility. I too want to find a source that is not China.

Hi, I sent an email to NOW Foods and they replied that the country of origin for their l-lysine is "Korea/China". They said that testing for quality & purity is done in the U.S. Others saying that this is made in the U.S. are probably mistaking the distribution address for the manufacturing place.-Nikki

Our Matcha powder is from China and it is not shade-grown. We sent these samples to a lab in Colorado to have them tested. Most brands won't do the testing because it's expensive - but it's important to us. We chose the farm that had the purest (and nutritionally most potent) green tea we could find anywhere. It just so happened to be from a farm in China. The locals have a long and storied tradition of cultivating high quality tea plants. They take a lot of pride in their plantation and meticulously care for each plant. There are some concerns with radiation from Japanese products right now. Since the devastating tsunami in 2004 damaged nuclear reactors in Japan, large portions of their green tea crops have been quarantined, destroyed, or ordered not to be harvested by the Japanese government. It's a tragic situation that has affected the supply of matcha and other teas all over the world.
