Every product we make is USDA Organic certified and Non-GMO project verified. We test our fruits and vegetables for taste, quality and the presence of any heavy metals.

Then we make sure our products are minimally processed to independently verified food safety standards to be delicious and safe – we treat them with love and respect.

Parental concern relating to heavy metals has lead the FDA to initiate an action plan called Closer to Zero to establish thresholds and provide a space for sharing and understanding the facts. We welcome and support this initiative.

Heavy Metals FAQ

Heavy Metals are naturally found in soil and water; fruits and vegetables can absorb traces of them as they grow. This is true whether you grow food in your backyard at home, buy organic produce at a farmer’s market, or packaged goods like ours from a grocery store.

As of January 2025, the FDA has set action levels for lead, but not yet for other heavy metals, so here’s what we are doing to keep our products safe. Put simply, we set ourselves tough standards against which we test, test and test again.

Along with the FDA, we took our guidance from Clean Label Project® to set ourselves rigorous measures and test every ingredient and production lot to keep our products safe.

It is recognised that heavy metals are present in everything that grows naturally in the ground. So here are some tips and tricks to minimise exposure and balance against the huge benefits of having plenty of fruits and vegetables in your family’s diet.

Feed the rainbow.
According to the FDA, the best way for a family to reduce heavy metal exposure is to introduce a variety of foods, rather than consuming a narrow range of produce.
Feeding the rainbow has other benefits too. It helps to diversify the nutrients absorbed by the body and, as importantly, it helps to broaden a child’s palate and food repertoire.

Follow a healthy and varied diet.

Independent Research suggests that introducing a broad, nutrient dense and high fiber diet may support a child’s development and help prevent heavy metals accumulating in the body.

We test every batch for Heavy Metals

We’ve tried to make it as easy as possible to search our database of test results by providing three options.

If you have a specific pouch you want to check, simply pop the “Best by” date (found on the back of pack) in the box below. Alternatively, you can search by key ingredient by selecting an ingredient from the drop-down list. Or, to see all test results in one place, just ensure there are no filters selected.

ppb = parts per billion

NOT DETECTED displays as an actual result – this is not a benchmark. We work with an accredited testing organization providing results down to one of the lowest levels in the industry – 2 ppb. Any amount below 2 ppb will deliver a “NOT DETECTED” result. (Please note: Many labs use less sensitive equipment so are unable to test down to levels as low as 2 ppb.)
