Frequently Asked Questions

What does Tested Clean certify?

Tested Clean certifies fresh food, packaged foods, supplements and cosmetics. Any foods which can be consumed by people or animals can be checked for harmful chemicals.

Why should I get my product certified?

Tested Clean is the perfect way to increase consumer confidence in your product. Customers know they have made a safe choice for themselves and their families. Tested Clean also positions your brand as a market leader with responsible supply chain practices, who cares about the environment as well as individual health.

How does Tested Clean compare to other certification programs?

Tested Clean differs from other certifications by being grounded in rigorous and continuous scientific testing that is much more sensitive than government and industry standards. Most other certifications are process based. That means the farms/companies are inspected once per year to verify that they are following the required procedures. The products themselves are not actually tested. Tested Clean verifies throughout the year that every lot of product meets the standard before that hits the shelves. And in contrast to other standards, it provides objective scientific verification that the product is actually free from pesticides.

The Tested Clean Standard has a substantially lower threshold or acceptable amount of trace chemicals then are defined as safe by the US Environmental Protection Agency.
