Recently there has been a lot of concern about lead found in tumeric. How can I be sure there is none in this product?

Ultimately, no one can say for a fact what all is in our foods. There is too much pollution and secret waste disposal and such things in this country and all over the world that you just have to either ask the company you are buying from and trust what they tell you, grow your own and be responsible for what's in your foods, or trust that if there are not reports of people dying from it, it's probably safe. Take your chances and good luck. But it is pretty stressful to be so paranoid, you know.....

I have not heard anything about lead in turmeric. Good question...but should be addressed to Starwest Botanicals directly, I imagine. Thank you.

All raw turmeric is going to contain lead at some very small level (ie: parts per million) - the question should be, is there an unsafe amount? Starwest tests for heavy metals (you can see it listed here under laboratory analysis - http://www.starwest-botanicals.com/quality-control.html), so you should be fine, but I bet you can get more detailed information by contacting them directly.

I didn't see anything on the product information about that, I believe it is food grade silicone which therefore should not contain lead. I noticed that as well, but assumed that it was residue from the fats of the chocolate or something else harmless. I would advise washing it before every use; I turn the molds out and rinse thoroughly. Perhaps contact the company about this?

I specifically looked for lead free. This was sent to my son, directly, so whether it was stated on the box, I don't know. And, he's thrown it away by now. He loved it, though!!

I was not aware the product contained lead! Will have to check into it further...

There is nothing on the product itself to indicate if there is lead in the product (no text saying "lead free"), and I didn't keep the wrapping so I don't remember if the wrapping had information on lead. I have had no issues with the product, but I, too, have not done a lead test.

There is no lead in any of Pioneer Pet Products. If you have any other questions please contact Pioneer Pet at tina@pioneerpet.com

I don't know whether it is exactly lead-free. You would need a lab test for this answer if you don't trust the seller.

Yes as far as I can tell . I researched this brand and it is suppose to be lead free .

It is a great concern for everyone who has purchased this product .I stopped using this product two weeks ago for the same reason of uncertainty. Does anyone know if there is a "Mercury test kit " available to public so we can check the for the trace of mercury and Lead , if any, in the product ?

I emailed the company and asked about the paint and they said that they use a non-toxic, water-based paint. If there is any lead present then they would be in violation of safety codes. You might ask the company about third party testing steps that they take if you are concerned about the potential of lead.

I don't recall seeing a warning. I believe it is just porcelain coated. It works great but let us know if there is a lead issue.

It appears to be all brass. If there is any lead hidden in the product, it's not going to hurt the plants or the grass and I don't intend to drink from the hose nozzle. I'm happy with the product. I also have no idea how one would determine if there was anything but brass without having it melted down.

I emailed NutriCology and they sent me the information on CA Prop 65. This was very helpful in understanding about the naturally occuring lead and other metals. Feel Free to Contact them.

The box does not indicate that there is lead content so that likely means none. We are happy with the drink dispenser.

I do not see one... you have started to make me wonder whether it could contain lead. My chiropractor's office carries Sonne's #77 and I have often wondered what the difference in formula could be (also bears a difference in price).

I doubt it has lead since it's hooked up to your water supply but I'm not a plumber. Check with the manufacture.
