Are any quality control measures done relating to strength &amp; purity from pesticides or other contamination?

Yes, we test all of our Amla powder batches for heavy metal contamination, pesticide residues, molds and pathogens, and purity.

I truly don't think so. How does one prevent bees from touching pesticides ? If it's raw, it's raw, I have had both and no difference in taste. I think it is marketing.

The label says it is made without pesticides, GMO's, or hexane. It is cold pressed, not refined, deodorized, or bleached. Hope that helps. :-)

Devorah, I will have to check the bottle. As far as I know about Kosher certifications, it should be clean.

Whenever using any type of pesticide follow the instructions on the label. Just deciding to double or triple the recommended mixes can lead to all sorts of negative enviromental and or health issues. Chemicals are a valuble tool but must be used witin guidelines.

It is important to take care of quality products, so that they can continue to work appropriately. There will be potential for rust if the individual doesn't take care of their product.

Hi Michaux, 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. As for China's reputed air pollution, our farm is situated in a small town far from the busy city. Air pollution posts a very low risk in that region. I hope this help. All the best, Ashley @kissmeorganics

I'm not sure. But we did switch to a different kind; Vita Life Brand Matcha Green Tea Powder, 10.58oz. - has a less bitter, smoother taste. Not sure about any pesticide problems, though.

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.

Richard, Technically no since its restricted in your state. But there are many merchants that will. Eventually the CT pesticide department will start to clamp down on these shipments but for now, I'm sure you can find a merchant who will be willing to send some. Also, it would probably be smart to ask ahead of time by sending the merchant a direct message. This way you'll know if they will or won't before you place your order.

The bottle says it is USDA certified organic. As a rule, only naturally derived pesticides or synthetic ingredients of low toxicity may be used if any. It's as good as it gets. I don't think the company could use the USDA seal if it didn't comply with its standards.

The Honey that is harvested is Organically raised without pesticides. It has nothing to do with inorganic materials.

You can get a MSDS sheet for this product online. Just google it's name and there is a pdf file of the MSDS stating all of the chemical composition.

Funny you should mention that, Fred. 10 weeks ago: I completed an FDA/Biosciences grant application that posed that very question. Yesterday I received an additional form that requested the MSDS paperwork for Cucumis sativus including any varietals that may be part of the intended study. Curiously, an OSHA representative expressed interest in obtaining any results, should we move forward: stating that this would have material consequences on their Southern California field office procedures. She did advise me that if it were up to her, she would wear some kind of latex protective gear.

Honestly I'm not sure, it doesn't say anywhere, but I think the pre-employment screening would be better quality tester hence I don't think I will recommend. You might wanna spend a little more cash for something solid. These tester will probably just tell you if you're in the field of toxicity. Once it didn't even work on me... But I need I was 100% positive.

You have to consider heavy metals and some toxins of course. You would want to know what is upstream, and if there has been any dumping from factories...etc, etc. Common sense and caution is a must. Still...these are a must have.

Sorry, I do not know. Of the 3 I have purchased, all are still going strong. I only have to clean mineral deposits out of the spray-holes.
