What ocean are the "...deep sea vegetable sources" from? If they are from the Pacific what about radiation contamination?

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.............

I really cannot answer that specific question. The number to call is 1 800 476 0016 or online www.globalhealingcenter.com

According to the manufacturer, this iodine comes from deposits in the earth, not the ocean.

Good question. Ask the manufacturer; then contact Mike Adams the health ranger to find out if his lab verifies claims of non toxicity.

They are farm raised in Indonesia.Very nice sized shrimp and especially for the price of 2 lbs.You would be hard pressed to find shrimp that isn't imported.The products in my local stores are imported.Doubt shrimp from the Gulf is any more safe since the spill.Poison...Really?????

well at the top of the package it lists a province in Japan, Koyoto-Yagi "Yagi was a town located in Funai District, Kyoto Prefecture.."this is disgustingly misleading, how the seller highlights "distributed by.." a Hawaiian company. so someone in Hawaii is selling possibly radiation-poisoned, toxic, perhaps lethal Japanese seaweed and these deceptive merchants call it "Hawaiian"

HI - i copied this from their website - This wild caught albacore comes from the pristine waters off the Pacific Northwest in the United Stateshttp://www.wildplanetfoods.com/Facts-and-Questions.html#faq2http://www.wildplanetfoods.com/Sourcing-and-Fish-Facts.htmlGreenpeace #1 - http://www.wildplanetfoods.com/The flavor, quality, and sourcing of this product is worth the price. It is more nutritious than other brand because they line and troll fish - hand selecting each fish.

Hi - it comes from a salt water lagoon on the Pacific coast of Mexico. The salt is processed organically by hand and solar evaporation. Does that answer your question?

I am curious myself; went to Viva's website, as well as doing a google search, but found nothing. They have a phone #: 800-921-8482. I have yet to call, but have been using the product for over a year with positive results. (My biggest concern for "anything" coming out of Hawaii is radiation from Fukushima. I live in CA--the Bay area--and have, sadly, stopped eating local seafood. The media here gives zero radiation info. Also, UC Berkeley stopped posting air/water radiation levels just one month after the tsunami. They had been posting their readings for over 20 years...and suddenly stopped.)

Wild Planet website states that the sardomes are caught in the North Pacific Ocean and come from both California and Japan. Hope this helps.

Thanks so much GW for posting this. Although we have already posted this a few times before on our reviews section and in response to some of the questions posted here, we are re-posting this for everyone's convenience. The home of our Organic Matcha - both Culinary and Ceremonial - is now located in Shizuoka, Japan, within a tea region recognized by the United Nations as a Globally Important Agricultural Heritage System. Harvested from a family-run tea farm in operation since 1915. Our farm has been certified organic since 2000, synthetic chemical free since 1994, and reduced chemical usage since 1975. Now you can enjoy great quality Matcha from the place it all began - Japan. Thanks again for posting. Unfortunately, there is no way to attach a file here. Once we've created a link to access our Radiation Test, Metal Test, and Organic Certification, we'll once again post them here. But please do email ashley@kissmeorganics.com if you have further concerns. Best, Ashley Evans KissMeOrganics

Hello, Our Nori is grown, dried and packaged in facilities certified organic by EcoCert and USDA. These require that the Nori has not been affected by Radiation. Just because a product is packaged in China does not mean it is bad, Organic certifications require the same high standards in China as they do anywhere else in the world. The USDA and EcoCert do not lower their standards in China. Additionally, we test every batch sent to the USA at an independent lab in the USA to double check that there is no Radiation contamination. We have the test results to prove this if you are interested.

I just confirmed - it's China or Korea. Just got this email from them"1000mg Chlorella: While previously Taiwanese current country of origin is China or Korea. They are grown in controlled outdoor commercial fresh water ponds. They are processed in their respective countries and packaged here in our Bloomingdale, IL USA facility. I too want to find a source that is not China.

Hi Leah H., Our krill are harvested in the Southern Ocean around the Antarctic continent from deep, pristine waters. Due to the growing popularity of krill oil, several countries formed a treaty organization known as the "Commission for the Conservation of Antarctic Marine Living Resources" to ensure that krill were being harvested sustainably. This international effort protects krill fishery, providing limits on catching and scientific observation. Once our krill are caught, they are immediately processed on board our ship, eliminating the possibility of decomposition and ensuring krill are fresh and high in potency. Hope this helps answer your question, and if you have any other questions you can reach us by responding to this comment thread or by email at amazon@vivalabs.com.

Since the nuclear plant had and explosion, I wouldn't feel comfortable taking any product that is naturally harvested in that area. Don't take a chance. If i see California Prop 65, I don't buy it. There is a reason for the warning.
