- Heavy Metals – When previously tested, no reportable levels of heavy metals have been found. These include but are not limited to Lead (<0.1 ppm), Cadmium (<0.05 ppm), Chromium (<0.05 ppm), Mercury (<0.05ppm), and Arsenic (<0.1 ppm). Pesticide Residues: No detectable levels of Organo Phosphate and Chlorinated residuals in routine testing. Other contaminants: There is no known content of contamination of potentially hazardous components in this oil. These components include but are not limited to BPA, melamine, ethylene oxide, zearalenone, and organic solvents.
- Note
- **Maximum result at packaging as an oil’s peroxide value can increase. This increase does not denote the oil is rancid.

- GMO Statement
- The trees producing the fruit, from which this oil is processed, have not been genetically engineered through recombinant DNA technology.
- Microbiological Statement
- Catania-Spagna vegetable oils have low moisture content (typically < 0.05%), have been processed at elevated temperatures, and lack nutrients essential to support growth of most microorganisms. Organisms considered food-borne pathogens or of concern from a quality standpoint are not able to proliferate in oil. Catania packages oil in a closed and sealed system offering little opportunity for contamination from extraneous materials that might harbor pathogens and viral particles.
- Sewer Sludge and Irradiation
- Catania-Spagna oil products are not exposed to, nor cultivated in, sewage sludge during production and subsequent processing. The product is not exposed to any irradiation.
