Trace contaminants in 3 types of fish oils from Iceland Health.
The levels reported below show values that are upper limits; in most cases actual values are lower. This is due to the fact that most levels are below detectable levels.

Statement: Iceland Health's detoxification process removes virtually all toxins and heavy metals from its products to the point when they are below detectable levels and can be called "toxin-free." Their lab in Iceland uses a proprietary natural process to achieve these results and, subject to regulations of the European Good Manufacturing Practice and Pharmaceutical Production Commission and ISO 9002 (a European standards code), samples of its oils are tested frequently for toxicity levels by licensed third-party testing companies.

Their factory in Iceland uses the company listed above for testing. They are used extensively by companies in the food industry and carry out analyses of all types of trace contaminants.

The report is expressed in either parts per billion (ppb) or part per trillion (ppt) as less than the detectable level. This means that equipment does not exist which is capable of detecting levels below that number. All levels are better than EPA requirements.
