I want to know when it was bottled? As I am concerned about contamination in the Pacific Ocean.

Nutrex spirulina is grown in ponds, not in the ocean directly. Go to http://www.nutrex-hawaii.com/faqs and you can also contact them yourself.

Previous info on this product said IT WAS WATERED WITH SEA WATER FROM THE PACIFIC offthe coast of Hawaii. That would be in direct down hill flow from Fukushima, if true.

I don't know when it was bottled. I did research for a long time on spirulina and chose this one at last. This is made in usa, better than made in anywhere else. Although powder is a little bit harder to eat, it is easier to digest than tablets. So I choose powder. I bought capsules and a small tool (also on amazon) to put powder in capsules. It's much much cheaper than buying capsule spirulina. Hope this is helpful

Please contact the company that produces the Nutrex Spirulina as they are the best source of information for a question like yours.

Contaminated blue-green algae can cause liver damage, stomach pain, nausea, vomiting, weakness, thirst, rapid heartbeat, shock, and death. Don't use any blue-green algae product that hasn't been tested and found free of mycrocystins and other contamination. http://www.nlm.nih.gov/medlineplus/druginfo/natural/923.htmlmy liver enzymes were significantly elevated due to this product....DO NOT USE!!!

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 is an excellent question and exactly what I came here looking for. Thanks for asking it, and thanks to all who answered.

I have recently been over to the Hawaiian Islands and been by the facility that produces this product. The sea water is pumped up from 2000 foot depth. They share this pump site with a research facility. This is a clean product.

there is a manufactured printed expiration date on the bottom of the bottle

I checked the bottle and it does not have a production date. Unfortunately, I have not kept the box.

I could not find a date on the bottle I have. I no longer have the box that it came in. So I can't say if the box has a date on it. I can say the stuff works grate!

Well Sofia, I bought my bottle a little over a year ago. October 2013 I believe and the date says June 2015. It was properly sealed when I received it. Hope this helps. Happy New Year!

Thanks for asking...... Never checked it until now and the only thing I can find is 8/15 LOT 00021 and don't see a year unless 00021 means 20021 which I will check with Sam's Club who distributes it. If you want to check the phone number on the bottle is 1-888-698-5034

Mine says it was bottled on 11/1/2013 and has a 3 year shelf life. I got it today (5/12/14), so it did sit for almost 6 months meaning I get 2.5 years of use out of it. I'm sure I'll use it all up in that time frame though, even just using a few drops at a time maybe a couple times per day.

should be on the bottom of the bottle. That is where I found the date on mine.

Go online to now supplements and ask them. I have a lot of trust in their products. But if they are sourcing it from the Pacific ocean I would worry about more than arsenic.After the Japanese meltdown there is probably a lot to consider. Thanks for asking the question.

It dint say anything about what kind of chlorella it is, but Im worry because they put a paper in the bottle that say "this product contains a chemical known to the state of california to cause birth defects or other reproductive harm" thats strange because it didnt have any chemical in the label.

date on the bottom of the box says 1978, but that might have been when it first came out. I see no other date on the box and nothing on the bottle itself

There is a lot # on the bottle. I would think if one was to call the company, they would tell you the expiration date using that number.

Not sure. Check bottle for a phone # or email address and ask them. I'd like to know too. Good question.

I'm not sure. I used up the bottle so I no longer have a container to check.

The bottle I have in my cabinet is dated 3/16. I don't know if it's from the same Amazon shipment because I finish the bottles so quickly.
