Why Heavy Metal Safety Matters

Plant‑based ingredients can naturally contain trace minerals like lead, cadmium, arsenic, and mercury because crops absorb minerals from the soil as they grow. What matters is how much is present, where it comes from, and whether your brand takes steps to keep levels low. PURIS does.

Tested From Field to Finished Ingredient

Unlike many brands that simply test the final powder, PURIS manages heavy metal levels at every step in the process. That includes:

  • Sourcing peas from regions with lower natural contaminant levels

  • Annual testing of raw peas and finished protein

  • Processing methods designed to reduce lead and arsenic

  • Batch‑level data to ensure consistency

Why PURIS Pea Protein is a Safer Choice

Made in North America

PURIS pea protein comes from peas grown in North America, giving you a cleaner and more dependable ingredient from the start. Local, identity‑preserved sourcing helps keep natural contaminants low from field to finished protein.

Every batch is tested for lead, cadmium, arsenic, and mercury, and PURIS shares data that reflects real results. Their most advanced programs deliver lead levels as low as 0.008 ppm, well beneath California’s Prop 65 threshold for a typical 20 g serving.

PURIS maintains some of the strictest internal safety expectations in the industry, staying ahead of media concerns and independent reports through proactive testing and continuous improvement. This means you get a product designed for people who want safer, cleaner nutrition.

Clean Label Peace of Mind

Safe ingredients matter, especially if you use protein every day, which is why PURIS focuses on clean labels, low heavy metal levels, traceability, and responsible sourcing. Their approach goes beyond basic testing and is built to give you real confidence in the safety and integrity of what you’re choosing.
