Do we test for heavy metals and can we show the certificate?
We have a raw material approval process in place and only buy raw materials that have been approved and are also from an approved manufacturer. These raw materials must be supported by certificates of analysis showing the results of quality control tests performed by the supplier. These tests include microbial testing, pesticide screening (herbicides fall under this category), mineral and heavy metal assays. Raw materials must meet relevant legislation (Food Standards Australia NZ) including that for heavy metals.
However, due to certain regulations and proprietary agreements with our suppliers, we are unable to directly share the certificates of analysis with customers.
We don’t test the final product, but each batch of the raw materials are tested, that includes things such as; lead, mercury, cadmium and arsenic and must meet the specifications before they are used.
Compliance to the Food Standard Australia NZ(FSANZ) is managed by the Ministry of Primary Industries.
