Are Organic Grass-fed Whey Powders Ever Bleached?

Follow

Yes. Natural Force Organic Grass-fed Whey undergoes routine quality and safety testing, including testing for heavy metals.

Our testing program includes screening for:

• Lead
• Arsenic
• Cadmium
• Mercury

Additional quality and safety testing is also performed as part of the product release process.

Why Is Whey Tested for Heavy Metals?

Heavy metals occur naturally in the environment and can be present in soil, water, plants, and animal-derived foods. Because trace amounts may occur naturally in agricultural ingredients, testing helps verify that our products meet established quality and safety specifications.

Testing is one part of our overall quality assurance process, along with careful ingredient sourcing and manufacturing controls.

Can I See the Test Results?

Yes. We believe transparency is important, which is why we make our Certificates of Analysis (COAs) and testing results available for customers to review.

For the most current information, please refer to the COA associated with the specific lot number of your product, as test results can vary from batch to batch.

What Do the COAs Show?

A Certificate of Analysis provides analytical results for a specific production batch. Depending on the test, the COA may show the substance tested, the analytical result, and the applicable specification or limit.

If you are reviewing a COA for a specific lot, we recommend using the lot number printed on your product packaging to make sure you are looking at the appropriate testing information.
