This is dated as 7th July 2020. Heavy metals are tested by ICP, and show Lead (Pb) as 0.156 ppm, Arsenic (As) as 0.043 ppm, Cadmium (Cd) as 0.007 ppm, and Mercury (Hg) as not detected.
Above is the Microbial Certificate of Analysis (CoA) for our current batch of PlantPills Chlorella Powder and Tablets, batch number TA-AD-01, as tested by the third party laboratory.
This is dated as 8th July 2020, and shows the total plate count (TPC - intended to indicate the level of microorganism in a product) as not detected at a detectable minimum of 10 cfu/gm (colony forming units per gram). Yeast, Mold and Coliforms are also not detected, and E. coli, pseudomonas, Staphylococcus aureus, salmonella and shigella are all confirmed as absent.
The above certifications are detailed third-party laboratory testing completed on our chlorella on an occasional basis.
These complement the in-house testing for protein, ash, moisture, total plate count (TPC), E. Coli, chlorophyll, pheophorbide and chlorella growth factor (CGF) completed for every batch.
This is in addition to heavy metals testing and microbiological testing completed for every batch by third-party laboratories.
This kind of detailed analysis is useful for monitoring the content of hundreds of elements present within our chlorella. As the quality and standard of our chlorella is very stable, exact amounts vary slightly, but remain similar from batch to batch. For these reasons, this detailed analysis is completed once every few years.
This is dated as 14th April 2021. Heavy metals are tested by ICP, and show Lead (Pb) as 0.189 ppm, Arsenic (As) as 0.091 ppm, Cadmium (Cd) as 0.008 ppm, and Mercury (Hg) as not detected.
Above is the Microbial Certificate of Analysis (CoA) for our current batch of PlantPills Chlorella Powder and Tablets, batch number UJ-AC-04, as tested by the third party laboratory.
This is dated as 8th April 2021, and shows the total plate count (TPC - intended to indicate the level of microorganism in a product) as not detected at a detectable minimum of 10 cfu/gm (colony forming units per gram). Yeast, Mold and Coliforms are also not detected, and E. coli, pseudomonas, Staphylococcus aureus, salmonella and shigella are all confirmed as absent.
This is dated as 22nd November 2021. Heavy metals are tested by ICP, and show Lead (Pb) as 0.154 ppm, Arsenic (As) as 0.035 ppm, Cadmium (Cd) as 0.005 ppm, and Mercury (Hg) as 0.002 ppm.

Yeast, Mold and Coliforms are also not detected, and E. coli, pseudomonas, Staphylococcus aureus, salmonella and shigella are all confirmed as absent.
This is dated as 14th June 2023. Heavy metals are tested by ICP, and show Lead (Pb) as 0.136 ppm, Arsenic (As) as 0.029 ppm, Cadmium (Cd) as 0.009 ppm, and Mercury (Hg) as 0.008 ppm.
Above is the Microbial Certificate of Analysis (CoA) for our current batch of PlantPills Chlorella Powder and Tablets, batch number WZ-AE-04, as tested by the third party laboratory.
This is dated as 20th June 2023, and shows the total plate count (TPC - intended to indicate the level of microorganism in a product) as not detected at a detectable minimum of 10 cfu/gm (colony forming units per gram). Yeast, Mold and Coliforms are also not detected, and E. coli, pseudomonas, Staphylococcus aureus, salmonella and shigella are all confirmed as absent.
