Step 1: We do a risk assessment for each toxin we test for to determine the appropriate type and frequency of testing to do for each product.

Step 2: We run strip tests at our facility for glyphosate and gluten for each lot we buy from farmers.

Step 3: We have an outside lab test to confirm our strip tests are accurate 1-6 times a year, depending on the risk assessment.

We report only 3rd party verified tests through our transparency system, accessible through each product’s QR code.

Numerous production “lots” come from the one farm. Depending on our contracts, all lots may come from the same farm, as is the case in the 2023 harvest. Thus, only one test is needed, and it applies to all production lots made with the oats from that farm.

Some products, like protein powder, have a 5-year shelf life. As a result, tests that are years old will be current for products sold year later. The QR code for the product will take you to the test linked to the ingredients in that bag.

Our facility is free of the top 14 allergens and corn. After running 8 years of allergen tests on our products, we have never had a test showing any cross-contact. Because the likelihood of cross-contact is exceedingly negligible, we have suspended that testing for now. If this testing is important to you, please reach out to customerservice@zegofoods.com and let us know.
