Accredited Lab Testing

Testing bone broth concentrate products for heavy metals is a crucial step in ensuring product safety and quality. Here are several reasons why testing for heavy metals is essential in the production of bone broth:

 

Consumer Safety: Heavy metals, such as lead, mercury, cadmium, and arsenic, are toxic to humans even in small amounts. These metals can accumulate in the body over time and lead to various health issues.

 

Regulatory Compliance: Regulatory agencies, depending on the country or region, often set limits on the allowable levels of heavy metals in food products. Testing bone broth for heavy metals ensures compliance with these regulations and standards.

 

Quality Assurance: Heavy metal testing is part of a broader quality assurance process. It helps maintain the overall quality and purity of the bone broth concentrate.

 

Ingredient Source Verification: Bone broth is made from animal bones, and the quality of the source materials matters. Testing for heavy metals provides a means to verify the quality of the raw materials used in the bone broth production. It helps ensure that the bones used are free from contaminants, providing a healthier and safer end product.

 

Transparency and Trust: Conducting heavy metal testing and sharing the results with consumers demonstrates our transparency and a commitment to product safety.
