KAL brand has detectable lead levels
tastes great, have enjoyed it. Unfortunately, today I received a report from NutritionFacts.org They conducted testing by an independent lab on several brands of nutritional yeast. This was one of the 8 brands tested that showed detectable lead levels. " KAL – Test report shows lead levels at 0.011 ppm. It would take seven tablespoons a day to exceed the MADL.*" (copied and pasted from the report. It was one of 3 (of the 8) brands tested that had detectable lead levels, even though the level is well below CA standards. But still, with 5 other brands with no detectable lead levels, why risk it? The other brands, with no detectable lead were: Bob's Red Mill, Bragg, Dr Fuhrman, NOW foods, and Red Star. I've enjoyed this product, but I won't be reordering. They need to fix the problem.
