does the company say that the microcystins levels were taken? is that what" cleanest guaranteed " means? I wish it was made in usa. does the fda have any jurisdiction here?

No chlorella is grown in the USA. Here is an article by Mike Adams, "Health Ranger", about the quality of chlorella from Taiwan: http://www.naturalnews.com/039145_chlorella_heavy_metals_lab_tests.html

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

The label says "made in the USA" but does not specify if all ingredients are produced in the USA or if /which might come from outside the USA. Soy is listed under "other ingredients" and the quantity is not listed. After taking this suppliment for 6 months my Optomitrist was excited that the test results on my eyes had improved. Perhaps the distributor might be of help in answering your questions. It is distributed by ZeaVision, LLC, St.Louis,MO Also this phone number is listed:866-833-2800. I hope this will help you get more definitive answers.

The way I understand it, there is only one processing plant in S Korea that produces this stuff. I don't trust what I'm told when it comes to health issues- so - I bought a cheap Geiger counter and checked out some extract I bought from a different site - 98.8% pure. No radiation above normal background. Now the product before it is is washed and purified - I dunno.

That's because this Kal Stevia is a "Product of China".....small label on side of my bottle. I got a refund because it didn't state that in the discription of this product. I called the co. and they said the product is tested (sure!)......I don't trust anything coming from China because of the History of their Toxic products.

The company has a manufacturing operation in Halton City, Texas BUT the product description on Amazon says the bottles are made in China. They are labeled "cadmium- and lead-free." There's no "Made in..." labeling on the bottles or on the box they came in. Aquasana's main focus is on water filtration/purification (www.aquasana.com).

Apparently China was their # 1 customer until a false report re: a contamination was reported. I think China stopped buying at the time. I don't know whether that has changed or not. That may be why it is available to us now. I have been very satisfied with this product. I'm not a milk drinker but love it in coffee and make my yogurt with it and also use it in making bread.

I'm sorry, we didn't keep the package the strainers came in so we can't help. My guess (the best I can do) is this product is imported from "who knows where".We always thoroughly wash all new food prep items before we put them to work in our kitchen for the same reason we launder new clothing items before wearing, one can't know what anything has been in contact with during the manufacturing process regardless of where it is made. Better to be safe than sick!

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.

Great question. I don't know. I use the product once a week and have had no ill effects. Globally could mean from China or any country. I did not notice this on the packaging and am usually conscience of looking for where product are made. I don't buy products from China due to the fact there is poor to no product product control and poison elements have been found in them. Thank you for the question. you have alerted me to yet another item to check on and avoid. Clear labeling is how to protect our pets as well as ourselves.

there's been 2 pharmaceutical grade manufacturers of MSM, Opti and Lignusil, which I'm having a hard time finding. Now is at least made in the US, but doesn't make the same claims. Best is to try it. I'm not tired at the ends of my soccer games or bike rides with the good stuff. Also, you get a lot of MSM from fresh tomatoes picked and eaten within 2 days.

i looked at the package and it does not use any ingredients that were produced using biotechnology according to law. it is a product of switerland. i learned from traveling, countries in europe, do not use chemicals in there foods and all kinds of processed ingredients that we do here in the usa. food in europe is natural,with no additives and so very delicious, good and healthy. you seldom seem obese people in europe. i know i said too much. it's my peeve about america food manufacturers.

Joeann, it does say manufactured in the US and I believe that. What I cannot substantiate (or haven't asked, actually) is whether or not all the ingredients are SOURCED from US/Canada made sources. For example, any company can manufacture something in the US, but where they get the "raw ingredients" may be from many countries--and China, with its absolutely unregulated standards, is the leading source for much of the ingredients. Vitamins are one huge example. That's why you are mightily careful which brand of vitamin you use--even if it says "made in the USA." You have whetted my curiosity and I'll send off an e-mail to their customer service. Always use e-mail for then you have the company's response in writing which causes most honest companies to be very honest, less honest companies to try to squirm around your question and dishonest companies to ignore you e-mail---just send it to them 20 times a day--and then to the FDA. Also check Pet Food Advisor, an on-line, invaluable source for food and treat info. Now that the company reforumulated the product, my dogs do digest them easily, with no sign they have eaten anything green and no chunks. They have one once they are on the bed, ready for bedtime--their evening brushing. A ritural for over 10 years.

Okay Karen! Here's what the label says: 24 ppm patented Silver Solution (de-ionized water and silver), TEA (wonder what that stands for?) and Carbomer. It doesn't really tell us MUCH, but it sounds to me like it's probably safe...it sure does work for me!!! :-) Have a good day, 'k? Sincerely, Glenice Loux

Hi, I was hoping the newer ones would indicate this on the box - but they don't. I called the company and asked for a print out indicating that they were free from BPA - they said they didn't have anything to send me - I am not certain they understood my question - as their English wasn't American English. This was two years ago - so I guess we should make another call - and maybe get some updated response! But I figure - hopefully not to recklessly that using my Boat once a week will be safe for everyone - but yes - I would love to have a guarantee that it was BPA free.

I just got off the phone with BUN. I was told what someone else has also posted. The bleach method is chlorine free-wouldn't say more specific than that-and they are regularly testing to verify there is no detectable level of dioxin in the paper stock.
