Heavy metals exist in the environment, mainly in soil and water. this makes foods, vegetables, seeds, and grains yields absorb these elements from soil and water they grow in. Unfortunately, this is true in one own garden, farmer's field (organic or not), and across the globe.

But this is not the destiny and there are ways to minimize the presence of heavy metals in packaged food available in the grocery stores by sourcing the right plants from the right farmers who are performing soil testing and rotating crops and by testing the final products.

Heavy metals have been a big topic of conversation and concern for parents and caregivers, baby food makers and regulators in recent years. We want parents and caregivers to understand our process and standards, because we know how important safety is for your little ones. 

At Else® we are making comprehensive efforts to ensure that the ingredients we use, and our final products are safe and meet the highest quality standards for your little ones. We are committed to high quality standards performing hundreds of quality checks, and approve every batch before it is released to market. 

Else® unique plant-based products are safe and effective for your baby and young child.  

Three whole plant based ingredients make up over 80% of ELSE®. Our Supplier Quality Assurance approach is to source only the best ingredients through continuous communication with our approved manufacturers who use efficient chain control ensuring only the best Quality and Safety standards are in place for the production of Else nutrition Raw materials. 

Chain control is critical to understand the farm to fork process therefore testing at each stage is important to make food that provided the best plant-based nutrition alternative to dairy and soy based alternatives and of course sustainable. 

Clean Label Project Purity Award is independently testing for important substances not shown on food labels; such as industrial and environmental toxins, and contaminants of concern like heavy metals and pesticides which may affect the wellbeing of a child. 

Foods are then compared to Clean Label Project's benchmark data of other foods in the same category. This enables consumers transparency to brands that are taking the extra steps to minimize consumer exposure to known chemicals of concern.
