I looked at the box and it says "Grown in North America". That could be Mexico though, else I think they would just say "Grown in the USA". Still I have six cats who love the stuff and are very happy, so I'd say its safe.

Sorry, I don't know the country where is was grown. Their website says it is grown in the rain forest, which narrows it down. It is organic, but I don't know if organic in this case means the same thing as it does for foods. That being said, I am in love with the four pillows I made. The box still has kapok for a few more. I make the pillows with a zipper closing, which makes it easy to add/remove kapok until you get it right. I am kind of fussy about these things and still am well-pleased with my box of kapok. Found a couple of seeds in it and I may plant them to see what comes up. BTW, kapok used to be the filler in life jackets. before the modern materials were invented. Enjoy your project...

Ok, so I read all the above answers and decided to call the 888 number on the product and ask the company. They said the product is made in the USA from organisms grown in Madison Wisconsin, and distributed through a company based in Pittsburgh. The company said there is no foreign ingredients in the product. But don't take my word for it. Call them yourself. The number is on the bottle and readable in the Amazon listing.

There is no warning or mention of lead anywhere on the label. It says it's grown organically in India on small family farms. Other than that, I can't vouch for it. There's a certain amount of trust involved in organic certified in another country. Do you know where the lead comes from?

I've used mine up, and so can't say for sure, but as I recall I was somehow pleasantly surprised re. that. I'm not sure they're grown in the US, but the way I remember it they are NOT from China. And, also, I did really like them, and do plan to reorder... :) Hope that helps...

The label says, "Certified Organic by QAI". I don't know where it's grown, but it's "100% made in America". Aloha Medicinals is based in Nevada. Have no idea about the heat and ethanol. Aloha's website is www.alohamedicinals.com. Toll free # is (877)835-6091.

The bottle says "Grown and harvested in South America. Another tip...It is very difficult to shake out a small amount, but if you use too much it becomes bitter. If you do not remove the inside paper seal, but rather punch one hole in the paper through one hole in the cap, you can control amts. better.

All almonds grown in the USA are pasteurized, even the only panic ones, unless they are sold from a "roadside stand" or from Spain and now I'm hearing China. I'm not familiar with Spain's farming regulations are but China I have to question.

It says on my package: Kevala International, LLC, Dallas Texas. Doesn't really say where it's grown. Their website is www.kevala.net . Hope that helps!

I do not know the lead content, I looked on the bottle and it is not listed. It states that it is grown in the USA and distributed by a company : Fungi Perfecti, LLC, PO Box 7634, Olympia, WA 98507. You would be able to ask that question in writing. They do have a number listed as well, 877-504-6926.

I bought this product and was also surprised. I'm not even sure we can get it in its pure form here as it is grown in the Phillipines. I'm just going to keep searching. Sorry I couldn't be of more help.
