Question 3

Can Somebody clarify if this actually has lead/arsenic or metal in it?

Accepted Answer

Hi George,

We’re green and proud, and as much as possible our plant-based ingredients are as close to their original food state as we can get them. Because plants absorb the minerals from the soil they’re grown in, you may find many different naturally occurring minerals in our products.

We’re confident in the quality and safety of our products, such as our Vega® Protein & Greens. We test every lot of our products for quality and safety, which includes testing for Lead and Arsenic.

Our shakes are compliant with regulations  and are safe for you to enjoy as a part of your balanced diet.

Thank you,
