Crowd-Sourced Fundraising Campaigns
For Upcoming Food Testing
Updated: June 28, 2024
The following GoFundMe campaigns for food testing (food testing that has been requested by members of the Lead Safe Mama online community) are published, in-progress, and not yet funded. If you would like to contribute in support of any of these campaigns (even $5 makes a difference!), please click the image below to read about the campaign (including the reasons these particular food items were chosen) and make a contribution. Thank you!
Do you want to test your own food item yourself?
If you are interested in testing your own food samples (for Lead, Cadmium, Mercury, and/or Arsenic), here’s the Lead Safe Mama, LLC affiliate link to the same lab we send our food testing submission kits through for the results we report here on this website: https://amzn.to/3UIPcHP. If you are interested in helping this process by nominating a product to be tested via crowd-funded campaigns (like the ones linked above), click here.
