Does Purition test for heavy metals?

May 16, 2022

Of course we do. But that's just the start.

Because when it comes to good food, we believe in prevention - not just detection.

That's why we choose ingredients from countries with strong food safety laws and responsible agricultural practices. Over 90% of the seeds, nuts dairy and plant-based ingredients we use are grown and processed in Europe. It's a conscious choice.

We won't buy ingredients from countries with a poor track records for food safety or a history of food fraud - even if they're being supplied in the UK by accredited traders. When you're working with real food, you can't take chances.

So we keep it simple. Know your grower, if you can. Trust your source. Buy local where possible. And always check.

The result? Every spoon of Purition is made with whole, real ingredients we trust - grown, handles and tested with care.

We meet the strictest UK and EU food standards - in fact, the same ones required for baby food. Our own results regularly come in far below those legal limits:

We don't cut corners, buy in bulk from unknown sources, or chase the cheapest deal. We choose safe, traceable, high-quality food - because that's what we want to eat ourselves.

This is real food. Made safe. Made simple. Made a whole lot better.

A note from our Founder, Edward Taylor

If you see other brands shouting about "no heavy metals", ask yourself - what are they really saying?

Heavy metals are something all food companies are legally required to monitor. And they're not something that should be added to food - ever. So when a brand makes a big noice about it, it can feel more like a sales tactic than a food standard.

The truth is, many of the cheapest protein powders on the market are made with the cheapest ingredients available globally - often from countries with little regulation. So yes, they test. Because they have to.

At Purition, we take a different approach. We buy our pea protein from France, our fava bean protein is made right here in the UK, and our dairy protein comes from grass-fed cows in Ireland. Grown with care. Handles with integrity. And tested every step of the way.

Because real food starts with real sourcing.
