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

The one thing I know about seaweeds is that a chemical from them adheres and pulls out toxins including radiation. Miso with seaweed was the one thing they found out helped with radiation sickness after we horribly bombed Hiroshima and Nagasaki and helped heal the people who lived through that.

does not say this on the packaging, i don't know if this helps you. I choose it because it is the best tasting

I do not know it this product is tested for radiation and pesticide residue. I suggest you contact Great Eastern Sun, in Asheville, NC at customersvc@great-eastern-sun.com or www.great-eastern-sun.com or call at 828 665 7790. I have used the product for several years and enjoy it so much. Consuming several sheets of this a day has helped my hypothyroidism greatly.

Hello Nina, We make a low cost ($69.95) radiation detector, the Canary 100. It is designed to detect Alpha radiation in food. You will need to keep it dry though.

Have no idea. Nothing on the package to indicate one way or another. Since this product contains natural ingredients, such as zinc oxide, I would doubt that there would be a need to test on animals. If a concern to you, suggest to contact the manufacture directly.

Seems to be. I use it all the time to cover things when I nuke them...Never had any problems.

How did you research? Where did you obtain proof? I asked the seller for info & they couldn't provide me with any proof in English that this doesn't come from an area affected by the radiation.

thank you for asking that question please review this letter by the company President and Founder Bill Carvalho has written an informative document which provides clear, concise information regarding radiation in Wild Planet products. Please see this link for a pdf of this documenthttp://www.wildplanetfoods.com/pdf/media/press/WildPlanetRadiationStatement7_16_12.pdf

I cannot find any tag/label which indicates that it contains cancer causing chemicals. That is not to say there aren't any proven cancer toxins since companies are not required to indicate that fact unless it is sold in California. Wish I could be of more help. I am concerned about toxicity in products too.

DonnaD is correct in that it doesn't say it's organic or pesticide free. I had contacted the manufacturer with that question and here was their answer: All Doctor's Best products are manufactured to FDA cGMP standards and conditions precluding the possibility of pesticide contamination. Furthermore, we have no reason to believe pesticides would be introduced into the manufacturing process at any point. As such, it is reasonable to expect no pesticides exist and therefore no tests are conducted to deny their existence. Doctor's Best conducts extensive testing on its products to insure safety and purity on both its raw materials and finished goods and to assure the highest quality supplement at an affordable price.

I contacted GreenPacks directly and their response was "Yes, the Ceylon cinnamon powder in our capsules is non-irradiated and certified organic. You should see the wording "Organic Cinnamon" in the supplement facts box on the back of the package."

just tape it in the freezer, it will last longer, and if there is radiation it will register just as well.

If you are referring to the test conducted by Consumer Reports a few years back, the answer is no, it is not. There was some question raised about rice in general by the FDA with regards to arsenic, however they have noted that "The agency has collected a total of more than 1,300 samples of rice and rice products and has tested them for both total arsenic and inorganic arsenic, the more toxic form. FDA scientists have determined that the levels of inorganic arsenic found in the samples are too low to cause immediate health damage." Of course, rice is only a small part of the total protein in this product, so it would not be the same as somebody consuming bowlfuls of rice on a daily basis. Further, as Lifetime is part of the Nutraceutical family of brands, they do extensive quality testing on products, and operate under cGMP guidelines.

The radioactivity would need to be measured over months. The dangerous component is Radon gas. In the form of a countertop, the exposure levels of even a relatively highly radioactive sample would be smaller over a decade than a single aircraft flight exposes you to. If you are worried about radon in general get a long term radon test kit from Kansas State University ($25, includes testing afterward) and use it in your house. (search for Radon test kit, and look for sosradon.org )Even a $200 detector wouldn't pick up the radon as it is an alpha emitter, and only dangerous because it's a gas (you breath it in) as it can't even penetrate unbroken skin.

I can't answer that, but you might try Dr. Group's website: globalhealingcenter.com. Also, take a look at the Nascent Iodine (atomic) on Amazon.....look at what it says about ingredients. I share your concern about the Fukushima radiation. It's a lot worse that the US corporate media are trying to make everyone believe. Talk about criminal negligence.............

WOW, excellent questions. The box says, "Blended and Packaged in U.S.A." so unsure as to where grown. Plus, it doesn't saying anything about having been tested for heavy metals and pesticides.

The way I understand it, there is only one processing plant in S Korea that produces this stuff. I don't trust what I'm told when it comes to health issues- so - I bought a cheap Geiger counter and checked out some extract I bought from a different site - 98.8% pure. No radiation above normal background. Now the product before it is is washed and purified - I dunno.

I spent the time to look at the report on Celestial Seasonings Authentic Green Tea lab report and 29CFR180.163. None of the results where the EPA has set limits on pesticide residues in dried tea are above those limits. Endosulfan (total) 0.11ppm - 24ppm limit, Bifentrin 0.28ppm - 30ppm limit, Fenpropathrin 0.01ppm - 2ppm limit, Buprofezin 0.04ppm - 20ppm limit, Carfentrazone-ethyl 0.02ppm - 0.1ppm limit, Acetamiprid 0.11ppm - 50ppm limit. Other residues did not have limits or could not be located.
