I would like to know, if these Fish oils are manufactured under clean safe environment, why do they package them in plastic containers for purchase.

According to their site .. Every batch of Nordic Naturals fish oils is tested by a third-party certified lab for environmental toxins, including heavy metals. You can request the certificate of analysis. So, yes. I believe its mercury safe.

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.

You really do not want to store oil long term in plastic. Plastic absorbs oil and taints the oil purity. If you have a small amber glass jar it would be better for use.

I would think so - the bottles they sell in are plastic, as shown - though I have only ever bought them at Whole Foods.

It's the same material as most plastic containers, so you might find that issue if you leave oil on it for a while. I personally hand wash my box and haven't noticed residue on my part. I guess it just really depends on the food. Sorry if I can't offer much insight in this.

No problem with the plastic. Are you using pure oil? A lot of the cheap oils are cut with chemicals.

Yes, the fish oil pills are tested for PCB and mercury. And, they are guaranteed to be within Proposition 65 limits.PacificCoast NutriLabs

Because, Brad, clear plastic is cheaper than opaque plastic, which is cheaper than dark glass...which is what all the best (Solgar, New Chapter) wild salmon oils are bottled in. That's why. And they say it's "UV coated," to which we say "lol" because it's not just the UV but the light itself that is the problem with degradation. Glass is the best way to go.

I would also suspect that the methods of consumption are largely based on the ways in which the product is stored. I have seen many types of oils, some commonly consumed internally, that are sometimes designated as suitable for internal use with the same product designated in other places that the oils are not food grade, or for external use only.

ooh no! What kind (both brand and 'flavor') of essential oils are you using? Brands can be important :/ I use an all natural set of oils from a company called Young Living and have not experienced any issues with the plastic quality... Maybe that brand you're using is too industrial?

Not sure. I was more concerned about the quality of the coconut oil than the container.

Carlson says it's free of detrimental levels of mercury, lead, cadmium and PCBs and 28 other properties. Hope this is of help. I've also read that squid oil is a better choice to avoid contaminants.

I carry mine to work, traveling, left it in my car, the bathroom .. It basically goes everywhere with me. Fish oil has never become "squishy" but I also have the coated kind. Don't know if that makes a difference.

I don't think fish oil can be "organic" but it is sourced from wild fish (not farmed) which is good. It's important for what we grow and what we farm (beef, chicken etc.) to be organic but fish isn't the kind of species that can be "organic".

Just because the FDA calls something safe, doesn't mean it is. Like most things, essential oils are safe unless you misuse them.

I'm not really sure of the question but if it has to do with the packaging being eco friendly then I can tell you I was very pleased with the way the item was packaged. I hope this was helpful.
