So what is a safe option for sea vegetables? What company? Can you give us a suggestion?
Tamara says
We have not found one. Our recommendation is to avoid them until further testing can be done. You can ask the company for their COA – but they are not always helpful as they do not always test down to low enough thresholds of detection with internal testing.
