- 1 Denotes tests performed every batch. Default EU Food regs where no values determined for seaweed are beyond this Specification.
- 2 Denotes tests performed on a monitoring basis beyond Specification.
- 3 Denotes tests performed by an external UKAS accredited laboratory.
- 4 Subject to 24% test margin of error, plus 15% natural seaweed variance. Specification states documented average, advised for use in labeling as typical iodine.
- 5 Results <10cfu/g, <0.4mg/kg or below detectable limit, subject to test margin of error; independent accredited test may be available on request at cost below food reg LOQs.
- 6 Species hydroscopic; test and subsequent results may vary from Specification.
- 7 Pesticide calculation expressed as dry matter allows for test margin of error.
- 8 The maximum level for food supplements consisting 'exclusively or mainly of dried seaweed or of products derived from seaweed', applies to the finished product. Regulatory supplement limit otherwise 1 mg/kg.
- 9 Final processing is conducted in a gluten free area in a BRC Grade A accredited facility which, before cleaning, may process products containing these allergens.

Technical Details & Test Data
- Product Details
To ensure quality and consistency, species may be harvested at more than one remote location in the British Isles and Nordic region. Primary, secondary and often tertiary processing may also be carried out at different sites, with the finished production of all our ingredients in the UK. Every batch is traceable throughout the chain of custody to the precise harvesting location shown on the relevant Certificate of Analysis. For the sake of clarity, all Seagreens ingredients are country of origin Great Britain (Section 36, Trade Descriptions Act 1968) and a blend may contain species from different harvesting locations. Customers requiring species from a specific provenance for whatever reason, should understand the risks to availability due to the vagaries of wild harvesting and have regard to Seagreens Terms of Sale available on request.
