Is the fish used in Tiki harvested from pacific waters? Fukushima radioactivity?

The company who makes Tiki Cat is www.petropics.com based in Washington, but the "Ahi & Chicken" can says "produced in Thailand". Hope that helps.

Hello K.R. I found the answer to your question in the Q&A; section of this product. Below is Young Life's response:"Our fish oil is sourced from anchovies and mackerel, which swim in the cold Humboldt Current in Chili (they are not farm raised).Thanks, Kurt - Young Life Research ". I hope this helps.

My fish (Koi and Gold) have been using this food for at least 5 years. Very healthy, and large. Our climate is freezing in Winter, they go months without any food, and remain fat and robust.

From NOW-university website under "See vegetables (seaweed) and algae FAQs": Q. Is there a risk of your seaweed and algae products being contaminated by radiation from Japan or being irradiated as a sterilization technique? A. No. These foods were sourced far from Fukushima and its prevailing ocean currents, and it is illegal to use irradiation as a food processing method to sterilize raw materials used in dietary supplements in the U.S. or Natural Health Products in Canada. To confirm the safety of our Organic Chlorella (Hainan Island in the South China Sea), Kelp powder (North Atlantic-Iceland), Organic Spirulina (India), and Carrageenan (Philippines) we tested each of them with our sophisticated PSL instrument, which can detect signatures of prior radiation exposures. The results were that these products did not test positive for irradiation.

Yes, it is from China and yes it is tested for several heavy metals. I contacted the company and they sent their certificate of analysis of their Spirulina. I'll try to upload the attachment.

You will have to decide whether or not you want to consume it. I found this article helpful when I was doing my own research. http://livingmaxwell.com/is-nori-safe-to-eat-radiation-japan

I think it's only sea vegetable. The package says that this nori is "premium quality, pre-toasted, ready-to-use dried seaweed/Porphyra Yezoensis." It is harvested from coastal farms off Japan, Korea and North China. This is a certified organic product, product of China, imported by Great Eastern Sun in Asheville, NC - Here's their # 828-665-7790

Hi Dennis. Gamma sensitivity and methodical counts over long periods would evidence really bad radioactive contamination, but to _know_ food is safe requires seasoned experience with expensive gamma spectrometry equipment --which is why we're supposed to have the EPA and state health departments. Unfortunately the agencies responsible for our health are on their butts --so we do what we can with humble equipment --and in the next election we all vote for Green Party candidates! Being able to detect residual alpha radiation in prepared samples and air filters might also sniff out problems, but that takes a spendier Geiger counter and careful work --plus you end up trying to get lab confirmation anyway. (Everything I know is at: &gt; http://webpages.charter.net/123goto/map.htm (And if I can't post a URL here, Google on "SW Oregon Radiation Monitoring".)

The ingredients are from brown Seaweed off Australia Or Okinawa maybe other places where the waters are clean David T CA

This is from the Eklund site: We produce our fish oil from wild Anchovies and Sardines from the South Pacific Ocean off the coast of Peru. The Peruvian Fishery is consistently ranked as one of the worlds most sustainable fishing grounds, and in 2008 the Peruvian Fishery was ranked the worlds most sustainable. We consider only the top 5% of raw materials available, selecting fish that are naturally low in environmental toxins, while high in beneficial Omega 3 Fatty Acids. We never use farmed fish, and can trace the source of every batch of fish oil we produce. Then they are processed in Norway.

Radiation detectors only pickup decaying particles close by. You would need to be close to Fukushima area to detect anything serious. Unless you're going to Japan I would suggest something reliable and inexpensive like the www.amazon.com/International-Medcom-CRM-100-Digital-Radiation/dp/B006C4ZTEK .

The new International Fish Oil Standards (IFOS) which this product is tested under does check for radiation currently. If you have any doubts go to the article "Finding A High Quality Fish Oil"- October 2015 on the Life Extension website under the paragraph titled :"Testing for radiation" http://www.lifeextension.com/magazine/2015/10/finding-a-high-quality-fish-oil/page-01

Thank you for your question. The device is able to detect ionizing radiation and store the readings up to 3 years for Beta, Gamma and X-Ray Radiation. If there is an Alpha radiation source in the object there will be Beta or Gamma decoys which the device will successfully detect. The radiation coming from the Fukushima is Beta and Gamma.

I call it a blubber and you should be able to purchase a similar one at your local pet store that sells tropical fish. Bring the unit in and I am sure they can provide a similar unit.

NO.. I Feed this to my Saltwater Fish and any unnatural ingredients can pollute the water.

His fish refineries are in Norway where he has sustainable fish regulations that are stringent in Norway. If you go to their website and wiki it's interesting. Oil is not from U.S. but are bottled quickly to retain their triglyceride chain at the source immediately.
