Do you test your Protein for heavy metals?Updated 15 hours ago
At True Protein, we are dedicated to the continuous improvement, product excellence, and ensuring product safety for our customers. On this basis we’d like to notify you of the results of Heavy Metal Analysis on four of our popular products. WPC, WPI, Collagen and the proteins in our Plant Protein.
1. As set out in our Food Safety Plan, it is a mandatory requirement to have a monitoring program in place to ensure product safety and quality for all raw materials used at True Protein. With this consideration in mind, main ingredients which have been sourced from animal and plant origins have been tested for heavy metal levels as per product specification, on a rotational basis.
Our existing heavy metal monitoring program is designed to ensure compliance with the Food Standard Australia and New Zealand (FSANZ) regulations. This program focuses on monitoring and controlling heavy metals such as arsenic, cadmium, lead and mercury. Please see below for an overview of the four heavy metal levels for the main materials used in our popular products.
| Parameters | WPC80 | WPI90 | COLLAGEN | YELLOW PEA | FABA BEAN | PUMPKIN |
| Arsenic | <0.02ppm | <0.02ppm | <1ppm | <0.01ppm | <0.1ppm | <0.1ppm |
| Cadmium | 0.002ppm | 0.002ppm | <0.1ppm | <0.1ppm | <0.01ppm | <0.1ppm |
| Lead | <0.01ppm | <0.01ppm | <0.1ppm | <0.03ppm | <0.03ppm | <0.1ppm |
| Mercury | <0.01ppm | <0.01ppm | <0.1ppm | <0.01ppm | <0.01ppm | <0.1ppm |
2. As Best Practice, finished goods are randomly selected and tested as composite samples for heavy metal levels. The contract lab we currently use for this type of testing is ALS Global. Lab reports could be provided upon request.
| Parameters | WPC | WPI | COLLAGEN | PLANT PROTEIN |
| Arsenic | <0.01ppm | <0.01ppm | 0.05ppm | 0.024ppm |
| Cadmium | 0.032ppm | 0.018ppm | <0.01ppm | 0.121ppm |
| Lead | <0.01ppm | <0.01ppm | <0.01ppm | 0.023ppm |
| Mercury | <0.01ppm | <0.01ppm | <0.01ppm | <0.01ppm |
Your continued support is invaluable to us, and we remain committed to providing our customers with excellent products, while ensuring product quality and safety.
