About Heavy Metal Tested

Heavy Metal Tested is an independent, third-party certification program dedicated to verifying that food, supplement, and consumer products meet rigorous safety standards for heavy metal contamination.

As a program of the Paleo Foundation, we leverage over a decade of experience in product certification to bring transparency and trust to the heavy metal testing space. Our science-based approach ensures consumers can make informed choices about the products they use every day.

Trusted Certification

Our Mission

To protect consumers by providing transparent, science-based certification that verifies products are tested and safe from toxic heavy metal contamination. We believe every person deserves to know exactly what's in the products they consume, and every brand deserves the opportunity to prove their commitment to safety.
