Background

In recent years, there have been reports of heavy metals (lead and cadmium) in protein powders, and there has been growing interest in the safety of these products. In order to ensure that our customers can use our products with peace of mind, we have rigorously inspected and confirmed the safety of the main ingredients used in our products.



Name of the third-party organization that conducted the inspections

Japan Food Analysis Center (JFAC) *Laboratory compliant with ISO/IEC 17025, an international standard.

Testing method for lead and cadmium: ICP mass spectrometry



■About the research results

Both lead and cadmium levels were confirmed to be below the standards of the Codex Standard(*) and the Japanese Food Sanitation Law standard values.


About Codex Standard

Codex is an international governmental organization established in 1963 by the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) and the World Health Organization (WHO). It refers to food standards that ensure food safety and quality and facilitate international trade. These standards cover a wide range of areas, including residue standards for additives and pesticides in food, food labeling, risk of microbial contamination, and hygiene standards in manufacturing and distribution processes.


<Codex standard values

Lead: 0.2ppm (soybeans)

Cadmium: 0.2ppm (soybeans)


Since there is no standard value for residues of heavy metals, etc. in Japan for soybeans, the values for agricultural products and rice for which standards are indicated are excerpted.


<Standard values under the Food Sanitation Law in Japan

Lead: 1.0ppm (agricultural products)

Cadmium: 0.4ppm (rice)



Inspection Result

Main raw material (Soy)

Lead: Not detected (*Lower limit of quantification 0.05ppm)

Cadmium: 0.04ppm

*Lower limit of quantification = minimum measurable value.

The cadmium standard value for soybeans is 0.2ppm under the international standard (Codex).
