Locate the lot number printed on your bag, then scan the QR code to open our Batch Quality page. Find your lot number on the page and select it to view the corresponding third-party testing report. Each report applies specifically to the production lot identified on your package.
Our finished-product testing program includes a heavy-metals panel and microbiological criteria. Additional analyses may be performed depending on the formulation and ingredient specifications. Every published report identifies the exact substances tested, the laboratory method and the results obtained.
No. Trace amounts of naturally occurring elements can be present in agricultural and dairy-derived ingredients. Laboratory testing determines the measured concentration or reports that an element was not detected above the method’s detection limit. “Not detected” does not necessarily mean absolute zero, which is why TLC PureOrigin does not use the term “heavy-metal free.”
Raw-material testing evaluates specified ingredients before manufacturing. Finished-product testing evaluates the complete formulation after blending. A raw-material report helps qualify an ingredient, but it does not replace testing of the finished product. The report associated with your package will clearly identify whether it covers an incoming ingredient or the finished production lot.
Testing is performed by qualified third-party laboratories that are separate from TLC PureOrigin and the product manufacturer. Finished-product results are reviewed and posted before products from the applicable commercial lot are distributed. Reports include the laboratory identity, testing date, product or material tested, lot number and available testing methodology.
