Do any of the ingredients come from Japan? If so is there any concern given the recent problems with radiation in the country? I

I looked online and cannot find the answer! If anything comes from the Japan area, then yes you should have a grave concern. Let me know if you find out.

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"

I believe the ingredients is on the box. Other than that I would draw my own conclusion, it may contain a bleach product. I am not too sure. Hope this helped.

Wouldn't want to buy any from Japan because of the radiation but buying anything from China is just as bad or worst as everything from China is making us sick, if you ask me they are poisioning everything there in China you need to find another source that is safe

There's an individual that's pretty consistent in commenting to the comments of others in regards to Matcha products and they say: "...just make sure you're not purchasing Matcha teas affected by the radiation fallout in Japan--which means avoiding ALL tea from the Shizuoka Prefecture region. The two brands that I know ARE safe are DoMatcha and Pure Matcha (there are others, but these are the two that I know of--not to mention they are high quality). They come from a region of Japan far away from ground zero. They are from Kagoshima, which is as far west from Fukushima as Denver is from New York. Also, the air currents go the opposite direction, which is why radiation has not been detected in those areas. Just thought you should know. :)"

hello.the lotion you mentioned was sent from Hong Kong, china. and there is no characters on the bottle. I think the lotion was made in Japan, because everything is written in Japanese.

Its organic certified by Canadian board something and JAP (guessing its Japan). It didnt say where it came from but its distributed by a company from Vancouver. I think the raw material might have came from Japan.

Unfortunately, all the answers miss your point, and I don't know how you can find the truth. I agree with your concerns about the ingredients, particularly with the history of some Chinese mfg providing products containing dangerous ingredients (to people as well as pets.)However, the same applies with many products on your store shelves "made in USA". We can thank our FDA, handmaiden to the food industry, far less effective than much of the EU, for that. I don't have an any more useful than the others :(

The original package was in Japanese so I have no idea. I bought it before I knew about the risks of BPA.

I don't know if this rhodiola comes from China or not. I know that all the single-specie substances that BulkSupplements sells are easy to purify and easy and economical for BulkSupplements to verify purity no matter where the product originates. BulkSupplements can just tell its suppliers, "If your shipping container full of product does not pass our US-based purity tests, you do not get paid." However, Rhodiola and all the other herbaceous and racemic (dl or RS) materials usually cannot be easily tested or verified for purity. Piecemeal tests for heavy metals, et cetera, can be performed, however. I actually suspect that most of these non-single-specie materials do NOT come from China due to the extreme environmental pollution and prevailing cultural tendency there to adulterate materials for sale. Green tea extracts might be an exception, in that these could come from China yet still be clean. China is a big country and parts of it are still clean. Ninety percent of green tea comes from China. BulkSupplements knows that it would be in big trouble if its products are less pure than what it professes them to be. Rhodiola is sometimes called Siberian Ginseng, so it could be a Russian product. It could also be grown in the Rocky Mountains or Canada.

After much research, I chose this Spirulina powder and I put it in my morning shake. Although not technically organic, it was very close. The company's processing procedures are right on. Now, fast forward, I bought this product before I was aware of the huge pile of debris and radiation contamination coming into the Pacific coast line from the Japanese tsunami. Before assuming though, I would contact the company to see what measures they are taking concerning this and how it affects the product. In the mean time, I am ordering broccoli powders and wheat grass powders from another source. It turns out we are not allergic to wheat so this works out fine.

This one is sourced from China. Unfortunately, they are either sourced from China or Japan and both have quality issues, but the benefits far outweigh the negatives!

Hi Veronique, Our Matcha powder is from China. We did a significant amount of research beforehand and we found a couple things about Matcha and Matcha drinkers. 1) Is that the price of ceremonial grade Matcha makes every day consumption very expensive and thus prohibitive 2) The radiation in Japan is still a real concern, especially for teas that are consumed through ingesting the whole leaf, of which Matcha is made. We visited and received samples from dozens of farms in China, had them tested for purity and chose the one with the best results. Our goal was to offer a culinary grade Matcha that can be used everyday, is high in antioxidants and will not drain your monthly budget. :) We hope you will try us out for yourself. Thanks again for your interest and if you need anything else, please feel free to contact us via Amazon or through our website's contact form anytime. Best Regards, Anthony KissMeOrganics.com
