Is this item tested for impurities. Since the NUC accident in Japan (where many items such as this is harvested) I wonder if they are testing it?

I wondered about that too when I first saw it, then I bought it anyway and tried it and now I'm hooked. So before I gorge on 24 packs I should find this out too. But here's the thing, seaweed has tons of iodine, so you're kinda protected that way, if you want to look at it like that. At least that's what I'm telling myself to justify eating these things! lol. I went to their website (seasgift dot com) and here's what it says: "All our seasoned & roasted seaweed are harvested in the west and southwest regions of South Korea." So that's opposite and a little ways south of Fukushima, so any contamination would (presumably) be decaying remnants similar to what American waters are like. (?) Anyway, I feel secure about eating it, as secure as I can be eating from the ocean. The company also says they test for mercury.

Holly, this is a field technicians, consumer grade, instrument designed to detect radiation. By design, it measures a very small percentage of the radioactive particles emitted by a test material. To get a precise measurement of the total radiation given off by a material the material would have to be sent to a lab and tested under controlled conditions. This said, my Radex detector has been the only means I have of removing radioactive liquids and foods from my diet. Last year, before I realized my food supply was contaminated with radiation, I was in constant pain and my feet were so swollen I couldn't get my shoes on. My Thyroid gland almost shut down I my doctors just gave me pain medication without trying to find the cause of my medical problems. I had purchased my Radex detector, I believe, in 2011 but never used it. Frustrated by not getting answers from my doctors I started looking for the cause of my medical problems myself. Within 24 hours after removing all the contaminated food stuffs from my home the swelling in my feet for the first time in months went down to the point I could put my shoes on again. In three weeks my Thyroid gland started to function again. It's been almost six months now and I am still pain free. I have made checking my food supply with my Radex a routine.

Hello Natalie! As NOW Foods is NSF GMP Certified, they are required to test for all contaminants including Arsenic after producing a batch of supplements. We hope this information is helpful!

It is a great concern for everyone who has purchased this product .I stopped using this product two weeks ago for the same reason of uncertainty. Does anyone know if there is a "Mercury test kit " available to public so we can check the for the trace of mercury and Lead , if any, in the product ?

I am unsure. I am not planning on diluting it. The website might have some info. ? Good luck.

Our Matcha powder is from China and it is not shade-grown. We sent these samples to a lab in Colorado to have them tested. Most brands won't do the testing because it's expensive - but it's important to us. We chose the farm that had the purest (and nutritionally most potent) green tea we could find anywhere. It just so happened to be from a farm in China. The locals have a long and storied tradition of cultivating high quality tea plants. They take a lot of pride in their plantation and meticulously care for each plant. There are some concerns with radiation from Japanese products right now. Since the devastating tsunami in 2004 damaged nuclear reactors in Japan, large portions of their green tea crops have been quarantined, destroyed, or ordered not to be harvested by the Japanese government. It's a tragic situation that has affected the supply of matcha and other teas all over the world.

When I spoke to a representative of the company today she said that the compounds come from China, but their labs verify them for purity and heavy minerals. One does not know their standards.

I purchased an Iwatani along with the canisters and they work perfectly on the unit I purchased. The fuel canisters were shipped TO ME without a problem. Just a word of caution however. I tried to reuse the cardboard box to ship something else to a friend but a code imprinted on the box alerted the USPS that the material inside fell within a special hazardous category. I had to obliterate all the markings with a black felt marker. I am confident in suggesting that shipping the actual canisters, after receipt by the consumer, would present some issues.

Has anyone checked with them again recently on possible peanut cross contact? I almost bought directly from their website but it said there was a possibility of peanut contamination, but the bag does not say.

I asked the very same question about Global Industries a while back, but no one would reply back. Thought maybe the equipment was used. Cant get any reply, let me know if you get anything

Brought a ThermaCELL unit unopened in checked baggage for international flight to South America where they are not sold. The box was never opened and sealed and also contained a butane cartridge. No problem. Don't know why anyone would expect it to be a problem as the cargo holds are pressurized to a minimum of the equivalent of 8,000 foot altitude I believe.I had a refill box sent to me in South America and that was shipped by air carrier I believe and no problem either. If you are still concerned, look into one of the security boxes that are sold for bringing butane lighters on an airplane.

Julie, the PKB company that makes this product gets the ingredients here in the good old USA, except for two enzymes which they get from Japan. This information comes directly from them. Until there is a concern with items coming from Japan, (Radiation), I'll continue to use this product. Hope this helps.

This is one of the purest you can get. They may use a small amount of something non-toxic as binder if you get the tablets, but it is low enough that is isn't even listed. If you want it without even a bit of binder, get the powder. I have used this chlorella for years. I was extremely anemic after years of bleeding. Drs got nowhere. I restarted my chlorella, and was out of anemia in record time. It is the only chlorella I use. After Fukushima, one has to be very careful. I know they run tests on everything.

No, I messaged them and asked, it comes from China. Some Islands supposedly clean waters...however all my research shows do not buy Chlorella from China. I'm going with Yaeyama Source Naturals. Only a few dollars more but Japan has higher standards for testing. Also opposite side of Japan than radiation. The radiation headed towards California.

Dear Valued Customer, Thank you for contacting Swanson Health Products! We apologize for any concern and we are happy to help. Please be assured that the shipping time is not long enough to have a significant impact on quality. The products are kept in an air-conditioned environment at our warehouses until the time they're shipped to customers. The bottles themselves are made of food grade plastic to protect the product. The bottles also have an internal induction seal to provide an oxygen barrier which reduces oxidation or spoilage. The majority of our product testing is done at off-site labs and the samples sent for testing are not refrigerated during transit to a testing lab. Test results showing the product continues to meet the label claim for potency tell us that the supplements withstand heat during shipment without damage. Our shipping methods are consistent with other large supplement companies. We know of no other mail order company that refrigerates products during shipping. Even if the product is refrigerated when you see it for sale in a retail store, it may not have been refrigerated during shipment to the store. We hope this information brings you peace of mind. As always, we do offer 100% money back guarantee on all products for up to 1 year past the purchase date. If there is anything we can do to further assist you, please let us know! Christy L.
