Is this product from China? Is it tested for Mercury &amp; other Heavy metals?

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.

Louise,I didn't know the answer to your questions so I called the company. The woman I talked to sounded a bit horrified when I asked if their products contained mercury. Her response was "Absolutely not!" She went on to add it does not contain gluten, dairy products, soy, or animal products either. Everything is made here in the US. I'm glad you asked, because I learned something as well.

Hi Lolabelle, Our facility and product undergoes annual checking in order to maintain Organic Standards. This include checking for any metal components that might have been transmitted through water absorption from the soil, or air. All plants have the tendency to acquire lead because it can be absorbed from soil or air. By doing lab tests regularly, we are able to monitor and keep it at a minimum level, so low to cause a concern. And yes we do have a lab test result for that, which we cannot attach here for there is no option to do so. You may send us an email directly and we'll have it sent to you. Stay positive! Ashley @kissmeorganics Our farm is located in the mountainous coastal province of Fujian.

I was surprised by your question and looked all over my double boiler for the "made in China" mark, but don't see it anywhere. I also googled it (as I'm sure you did as well) and can't find anything about lead content. So "no", I have no idea if it contains lead. If you find out, would appreciate you posting the answer.

No it is not! It is chromium.. . . . . .Zoom in on the product information on the left and it will show the ingredients on the side of the bottle! I would tell you to buy another brand, this is raw form and has made a lot of people ill since I purchase it. They state the raw form means it is the best. . . . . .I believe it came from China or who know where and brought here and then manufactured in the USA. Who knows whats in it. . . . .. .try a better brand so you don't get sick! Good luck Michelle, hope I was helpful!

I don't know. I doubt they are Mercury free, but they are the ones packaged the same as the ones I have bought via you for the last several years......

Hi there, I purchased this w/ the hearing aid for my father in law, who is overseas. I'm not sure about the mercury content and I don't have the packaging to confirm.

You know, I actually have a friend in China, and he gave me a couple of DHS racquets when he got back to the States, and it smelled like fish too. Really, there is no mercury, and while it smelled bad at first, I found out if you wrap some dryer sheets around it and let it sit overnight, its all good. Or you can be hardcore and simply wait for it to go away, which doesn't take some either.

Darn - I'm not sure. I sort of took BPA-free to mean "not from China" but now I'd like to know, too.

That's because this Kal Stevia is a "Product of China".....small label on side of my bottle. I got a refund because it didn't state that in the discription of this product. I called the co. and they said the product is tested (sure!)......I don't trust anything coming from China because of the History of their Toxic products.

I understand your concern and I have a similar concern, however, it's the best of all options I have found so far since most of our goods are made in China. It really comes down to how conscientious the company is about quality control and where the material originated. Aluminum, for example, may come from a bauxite mine in Australia, is shipped to Iceland for processing at Alcoa (cheap electricity, using hydroelectric from a dam built by Chinese workers), then shipped to China for making products. This is one of the best water bottles I have found. PS If you use sunblock or cosmetics, the chemicals used and potential health hazards are very scary--there are a select few who are actually safe.
