Testing Maldon Sea Salt Flakes (from Essex, England) for Lead, Cadmium, Mercury, and Arsenic with Independent, Third-Party Laboratory Analysis
Published: September 6, 2025
A Quick Note from Tamara Rubin:
This product — the Maldon Sea Salt Flakes (from the town of Maldon in Essex, England) — tested CLEAN with independent, third-party, community-funded laboratory testing. Specifically, when we sent this product in for heavy metals testing, the lab report came back with “non-detect” results for Lead, Cadmium, Mercury, and Arsenic (with the low thresholds of detection noted in the shareable social media graphic below, just before the full original lab report at the bottom of this article).
This is refreshing news, as we previously had a little bit of an odd exchange with this company in which they were not being forthcoming with test results (presenting their information to us and the public in a bit of a suspicious way)! More on that, here.
As this product came back with “non-detect” results for the four heavy metals we test for, we made it one of the new additions to our “Lab-Tested Safer Choices List” as soon as we received the report back from the lab. This list can be found in its entirety below — just scroll down. We now have 96 products featured on our lab-tested safer choices list, including this English sea salt product. Here is the link to purchase this product on Amazon if you are so inclined (you may be able to find it for less at your local store): https://amzn.to/4iTzWTE
Who paid to cover the costs for testing and reporting on this product?
While we created a GoFundMe campaign to raise enough money to cover the costs of testing and reporting on this product, the campaign did not fund (though it is still open for contributions). In fact, it has only raised $50 of its $575 goal as of the moment of publishing this article. Here’s the link to that campaign. This is just one data point contributing to our current operating deficit 🙁
We felt it was important to test this product (even though the funding to cover our testing and reporting costs had not yet been raised — see our budget here) for a few key reasons:
- Prior to testing this product we had only identified one lab-tested safer choice for salt — the Jacobsen Kosher Sea Salt product from Oregon (here’s that lab report, and an affiliate link).
- Given how expensive the Jacobsen Oregon Kosher Sea Salt product is, we have had fairly persistent requests from the Lead Safe Mama community to identify a less expensive (and easier to find) salt product for every day use.
- We have also seen quite a few requests to identify safer products that are more readily available to people who live in countries outside of the United States, with salt from other countries being one of our most requested products for testing. To this end, we have tested salts from many different countries, and each of these examples resulted in lab reports showing them to contain one or more heavy metals (with some being very heavily contaminated):
- However, we had not yet tested a salt from England — so this Maldon Salt seemed like a good next choice.
- Finally, we wanted to get to the bottom of the strange interaction we had with the company back in 2023 (linked above), and the best way to do that was by sending the product in for testing now that we have access to a reliable, accurate, third-party laboratory (which was not the case back in 2023).
If you appreciate these results and would like to help us cover the costs of testing and reporting for this and/or other Lead Safe Mama community-nominated products that have not yet funded, please consider contributing via the direct link (to the Maldon Salt testing campaign) or our general GoFundMe campaign (here).

Thank you.
How YOU can support the Lead Safe Mama, LLC Community-Collaborative Laboratory Testing Initiative:
To both directly support the Community-Collaborative Laboratory Testing Initiative of Lead Safe Mama, LLC and to be among the first to see our new lab reports when they are published, please subscribe to our Patreon Channel. You can join us on Patreon for FREE or with a small monthly gift supporting the Lead Safe Mama, LLC Community-Collaborative Laboratory Testing Initiative.
Our average monthly gift from paid Patreon members as of the time of publishing this article is just about $2.51 each month. A total of 374(!) people contributing just about $2.51 a month adds up to over $938 in combined monthly contributions, which helps us get more products tested quickly each month! So while a contribution of $2.50 or $3 a month may seem like a small amount, the small contributions add up to make a big difference.
Our long-term goal is to raise at least $5,000 a month through small monthly contributions in support of our lab testing initiative, as this amount will cover the base costs necessary to pay all the members of the Lead Safe Mama Team who help with this work. To meet this goal, we need about 1,626 more people to sign up and contribute $2.50 a month or more on Patreon! Thank you for considering supporting our work in this way.
To date, through the Lead Safe Mama, LLC Community-Collaborative Laboratory Testing Initiative, we have identified 96 “Lab-Tested Safer Choices” across all product types we have tested (most of which are products that came back from the lab with “non-detect” results for all four heavy metals we test for — Lead, Cadmium, Mercury, and Arsenic — with the limits of detection noted on the lab report for each product). You can find the full list of lab-tested safer choices below (please scroll down).

A “spacer graphic” like the one above can be found in each of our articles that include the Lead Safe Mama, LLC Lab-Tested Safer Choices List. The graphic differs depending on which version of the list is below it. The Leaf graphic above is our newest graphic spacer for the September 2025 update of this Lab-Tested Safer Choices List. If the graphic is different when you see this list in any article (a sun, rainbow, flower, heart, or shamrock), that means it is an earlier version of the Lab-Tested Safer Choices List. While the date of the list (and its last update) is included in the text below it, we also wanted to introduce the visual tool we use to identify the latest version of our lab-tested safer choices list. Lead Safe Mama team members strive to update the list with the current spacer graphic, indicating that the most recent list of safer choices is below. However, they may not have had a chance to update every copy yet. Please be patient! Thank you.
Are you interested in seeing MORE safer choices?
Below is an expanding list of products (foods, supplements, cosmetics, and personal care items, including sunscreens and toothpaste) that tested “non-detect” for Lead, Mercury, Cadmium, and Arsenic with independent, third-party, community-funded laboratory testing coordinated by Lead Safe Mama, LLC (an Oregon-based small business with a unique community-collaborative business model and a focus on consumer goods safety and childhood Lead poisoning prevention).
- The product examples below clearly demonstrate that companies can manufacture safer choices (at least from the perspective of concerns for heavy metals contamination).
- The limits of detection (low-threshold of detection) for each of the metals tested are noted in the lab report for each specific product.
- To see the full, original lab report (and read the related article) for any of these products, type the brand name — or product name — into the search bar at the top of any page on Lead Safe Mama dot com and scroll down to the bottom of the related article. The original lab report can always be found at the very bottom of each related article.
- Most of our published lab reports are also linked here, on our lab testing landing page.
- This landing page is updated weekly (most weeks) and is a good page to bookmark and check back on periodically if you want to check in for the latest test results.
- Flavors (or specific variations) tested are noted in the list below (and on all of our related articles). Other variations of the same product (or other products from the same brand) have either not been tested or have been tested but did not yield similar results.
- Test results only apply to the specific products listed and linked below.
- Test results are PRODUCT SPECIFIC, not BRAND SPECIFIC.
- One should never assume that all products from a specific brand are clean just because a few products from that specific brand tested cleanly.
Products on our “safer choices” list are retested periodically (annually or more frequently, as funding permits). If a product no longer tests clean upon second analysis, it is removed from the list. If you have questions about a product that was removed from this list, please use the search bar at the top of the page to see more on that product, including its most recent test results.

Products Removed from the Above “Lab-Tested Safer Choices” List
The following two products were previously on the Lead Safe Mama, LLC Lab-Tested Safer Choices List, but have since been removed due to results from retesting (in 2025) showing them as testing positive for toxicants.
In each case (for the two products noted below), the retest showed a very low level of toxicants (consistent with the narrative that these two products are still a cleaner choice when compared to similar options in their product categories). We only list products above that come back from the lab with “non-detect” results for all four metals we test for (Lead, Cadmium, Mercury, and Arsenic), so even though the re-test levels for these two products were low, they do not meet our standards for remaining on the list above.
You can read more about these products and the most recent lab test results for each in the articles linked below:
- One Degree Organics Sprouted Rolled Oats, yellow bag (Made in Canada) — May 2025 Retest
- Jovial Organic All-Purpose Einkorn Flour (Made in Italy) — August 2025 Retest Lab Report to be Published Shortly
