While our mushrooms are grown sustainably, our extracts are not currently certified organic by the EU or USDA. It’s important to understand that organic certification does not always guarantee product quality or safety, especially when it comes to mushrooms.
Mushrooms naturally absorb heavy metals from their environment, and organic certification does not include testing for those. In fact, USDA and similar certifications rely mostly on paperwork. If a farm can show they avoid certain pesticides, they can be certified, even without any lab testing of the final product.
There may be one on-site inspection per year, but no lab equipment or chemical analysis is involved. That’s why an organic stamp can be more about marketing than actual safety.
Many brands highlight the USDA Organic logo while skipping key quality indicators, like the presence of active compounds or levels of heavy metals. A product can be certified organic and still contain contaminants if it hasn’t been properly tested.
That’s why we do things differently. We publish full lab reports for every batch, conducted by ISO-certified Eurofins laboratories. These tests show exactly what’s in our extracts, so you can make an informed choice based on facts, not just labels.
