I’d love to see jovial organic brown rice pasta and made in nature organic dried apricots tested! Thank you so much Tamara!
I’ve had these and I was worried about the lead and they didn’t taste that good to justify the risk to me so I trashed it. But I wonder about Simple Mills Almond Flour Crackers and also their Veggie Flour Crackers. They both have cassava flour in them and they’re the only crackers I buy being grain-free
Was this the only Lesser Evil snack you have tested? I am especially curious about their Lil Puffs snacks. Thank you!
I would love to see if the Lil Puff from Lesser Evil were also tested? Or if they could be tested?
I hope there’s no mercury, lead, etc. in the Lesser Evil avocado popcorn!
I’m hoping for the same thing!
I would like Iya cassava flour tested. I bought it on Amazon.
I’m so disappointed and frankly angered regarding the Serenity brand because of the clean label purity award they advertise!!!!! Thank you Tamara.
You are welcome! (& I’m sorry!)
