  • Labeling SpecificationsLabels clearly state the low-heavy-metal characteristic and heavy metal content; multilingual labels and heavy metal test reports can be attached as required by international customers.

6. FAQs

Q: Does the heavy metal content comply with EU organic food standards?

A: Fully compliant. The total heavy metals are ≤1ppm, and the content of each single heavy metal is far lower than the limits of EU organic food standards, making it directly applicable to organic edible oil processing.

Q: Will it release heavy metals into oils after use?

A: No. The product undergoes in-depth purification with extremely low inherent heavy metal content, and its physical and chemical properties are stable with no risk of heavy metal leaching.
